Journey to Grateful

About Journey to Grateful

Through the loss of my wife to cancer, I've discovered that many people – my support system included – don't know quite how to navigate through daily life after loss. Whether grieving themselves or wanting to help those they attempt to support, it's an uncharted path for many. I’ve come to understand the most valuable asset my family and friends possess is the ability to lift me up when I’ve needed it most with the simplest of gestures. There is no perfect formula to help someone grieve, the being there, listening, and providing a slice of normal is often exactly what is needed. The most difficult task for those on the outside is understanding the many facets of loss that are present almost every single day. This podcast was created to help us understand the process of loss with the help of those who are living it.

Published 13 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I'm not suggesting that grieving people are walking around pretending to be okay while secretly falling apart when nobody is looking. Sometimes that happens, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying something almost opposite. Sometimes we really are okay. Sometimes the laughter is completely genuine. the happiness is genuine the excitement is genuine the good day really was a good day and grief was there too you see we've developed this strange idea that those things must somehow compete with one another if i'm happy perhaps i must not be grieving if i'm suddenly crying Perhaps I'm not doing as well as everyone thought.
