Meg Walter: Grief and the Love Deficit

In August 2024, Meg Walter, the writer of a humorous Deseret News column, unexpectedly lost her 62-year-old father to a heart attack. Suddenly, her columns, although still funny at times, took on a more somber tone. The humorous journalist was forced to work through something that faces each of us at some point: Grief. On this week's episode, she shares how that grief helped her settle into her faith.

"I need that hope that my faith offers me. I am getting much more comfortable with what I don't know and what I hope. And I'm leaning more into what I hope."
