Description

Loss shows up in every part of life. We lose games, we lose jobs, and sometimes we lose the people we love most. This week on Grieving Out Loud, Marcia Earhart shares a story shaped by more heartbreak than most people could imagine. Before she reached adulthood, she had already faced 17 major losses.

She believes those early experiences may have prepared her, at least in some small way, for the unthinkable: losing two of her children. One died in a tragic car crash, and the other was taken by a violent murder.

How does someone keep moving forward after so much pain? In this episode, Marcia talks about her journey, the lessons grief has taught her about love and resilience, and the grace she has learned to find in the hardest moments. She also shares more about her new book, Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief.
