Grief changes everything - your beliefs, your purpose, your sense of time. This podcast explores those changes through honest conversations with people who have lived through the unimaginable, as well as solo reflections from me on my own journey with loss.
Each week we share stories of what grief takes, what it gives, and how it reshapes the way we live. These conversations can be raw and difficult, but also full of love, laughter, and unexpected hope.
Because as we all know - life is too short.

In this powerful first part of a two-part episode, I sit down with Aoife Gillespie as she shares her deeply personal journey of love, loss, and resilience. Aoife’s husband, Jason, is in the final stages of his life, and she reflects on their relationship—the highs and lows, the struggles with mental health and addiction, and the challenges they’ve faced within the healthcare system.
At the heart of this conversation is anticipatory grief—the emotional process of mourning a loved one before they are gone. As a mother and caregiver, Aoife speaks candidly about how she is coping, offering insight into the unique pain of preparing for loss while still trying to cherish every moment.
