Love Survives Grief
Let me introduce you to our new podcast;
Welcome to Love Survives Grief.
We’re so glad you’re here.
This podcast was born from grief and out of the kind of pain that changes you forever—the kind of loss that leaves a quiet, lasting ache in the background of your life. Grief didn’t just enter our story—it rewrote it.
Before everything changed, we were living what felt like the American dream—building a life, raising our family, and planning for a future we thought we could count on. In a moment, everything we knew—everything we believed our life would be—was gone. The life we had carefully built no longer existed in the same way. Since then, we’ve had to rewrite our story completely.
We’re not therapists, and we don’t have all the answers. We’re just two people learning, day by day, how to survive the unimaginable. We will share our own lived experience—raw, unfiltered, and ongoing. We know what it feels like to wake up in a reality you never chose, to carry love for someone who is no longer physically here, and to figure out how to keep going anyway.
Love Survives Grief isn’t about “getting over it” or tying things up in a neat, hopeful bow. It’s about what it really looks like to live after loss—the messy, complicated, heartbreaking, and sometimes even beautiful reality of carrying grief while continuing forward and finding ways to survive the unimaginable.
Here, we’ll talk openly about our journey. The heartbreak, the memories, the anger, the love, and even moments of unexpected light. We’ll talk about what helps, what doesn’t, and what grief really looks like behind closed doors.
Our hope is that if you’re walking a similar path, if you have lost someone you love, we want you to know-you’re not alone. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this:
Love doesn’t end when someone dies. It changes, it stretches, it aches—it becomes something different—but it survives.
And somehow, through all of it, so do we.
Thank you for being here with us.
