In this very special conversation, trumpet legend Simon Gardner opens up to Louis about his personal spiritual experience during the final weeks of his late wife's life. What starts as a simple chat turns into one of the most powerful, vulnerable, and hope-filled stories we've ever shared on this channel.

Simon talks about:

Coping with terminal illness as a partner

Going sober through grief

Witnessing unexplained spiritual phenomena

What he believes happens after we die

The comfort and peace that carried him through unimaginable pain

Whether you're spiritual, religious, or simply curious—this story is for anyone seeking comfort in the face of loss.
