Host Jaleesa Godson shares her personal experiences of grief and loss after the passing of her husband aged 33 in August 2022. Brad passed away from Glioblastoma, a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumor. Grief Chronicles is a personal story about a traumatic loss, navigating grief, healing, and adapting to a new reality.
Episode 4: This Is What Healing Looks Like (It’s Messy)
In this episode, I sit down for the first time in a long while to reflect on grief, growth, and what healing actually looks like three years after losing my husband.
Recorded on Wonnarua Country at the end of 2025, this episode is a quiet, honest reflection on how life continues to change, how relationships shift, how grief lives in the body, and how healing isn’t something you finish, but something you learn to live alongside.
This isn’t a polished story. It’s real, messy, and where I’m at right now.
