What happens when the best teachers are the ones walking through grief themselves? In this deeply moving episode, our guest shares how being a young widow led her to social work school—and ultimately, to leading a support group of widows as part of her internship. What she discovered was profound: the real lessons didn’t come from textbooks—they came from the courage and stories of others in pain. From grieving parents to heartbroken spouses, they taught her how to live again. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing often begins when we open ourselves to the wisdom of others—and that putting pain into purpose is one of the most transformative acts of all.
Widowed at a young age, she found healing by helping others through grief. In this touching episode, discover how shared sorrow became her greatest teacher—and her greatest calling.
