Description

In this powerful episode of the Greater Than Grief podcast, host Melissa Hull sits down with Emmy Sass, the inspiring founder and CEO of the Life Interrupted Foundation. Emmy shares her deeply personal journey of love, sudden loss, and the calling that led her to create a nonprofit supporting families through the immediate aftermath of unexpected grief.

With transparency and heart, Emmy opens up about losing her fiancΓ© just weeks before their wedding and how that moment reshaped her life's mission. Together, Melissa and Emmy explore how joy and grief can coexist, the importance of creating space for healing, and how service can be a transformative act of honoring those we've lost.

This episode is for anyone navigating grief, looking for purpose after loss, or simply needing a reminder that healing doesn't mean forgetting β€” it means continuing with love.
