Ep.8 | Love, Loss, and Living Through It: Our Raw Journey with Grief

Send us a text

In this episode, we get incredibly personal, talking about grief, resilience, and the very different ways people handle loss. Joined by my wife, we share our experiences with losing our son, Emmitt, and how it impacted our relationship and individual healing journeys. We dive into the contrast in how we coped: one of us found comfort in keeping reminders close, while the other felt the need to put things away and create some distance. It wasn’t easy, and at times, it felt like we were grieving in two separate worlds under the same roof. We also address the societal expectations around grief—the assumptions and judgments we encountered, and the idea that there’s only one “right” way to grieve. This conversation really challenges that, showing that each person's way of processing loss is valid and deeply personal. There’s a focus on the importance of communication, respecting each other's coping mechanisms, and allowing space for all feelings, even the messy ones. The episode also touches on the effects of grief on our boundaries and everyday life, like the discomfort we feel now around holding newborns and the cautiousness we have about germs due to the loss we experienced. This is a raw, heartfelt discussion on love, loss, and finding a path forward, together and individually, through one of life’s toughest trials.
