Description

Losing someone you love doesn’t just take them from your life — it can feel like it takes you from yourself. In this heartfelt episode, I share how the death of my wife, Colleen, left me questioning who I was without her, and how grief reshapes our identity in quiet, complicated ways. From the roles we lose — spouse, partner, parent, child — to the slow, tentative steps of rediscovering who we are, I offer honesty, compassion, and hope for anyone feeling unmoored by loss. Whether you’ve lost a spouse, a parent, a child, or someone else who helped define your sense of self, this conversation reminds you that while grief changes you, it also gives you the chance to meet a new version of yourself — one still shaped by love, even in their absence.
