Reflecting on the emotional and practical changes she made to her home, Carmeon shares how she honored her late husband while creating a space that supports her and her son’s new chapter. 

From tackling renovations with a blend of logic and emotion to embracing humor and directness in her grief journey, Carmeon's story offers valuable insights into how our living spaces can become sanctuaries of healing.
