084 How I learned to live after losing my daughter


Listen Later

In this episode, Brian Smith shares his lifelong relationship with death—from childhood terror to the devastating loss of his 15-year-old daughter. Instead of being broken by grief, he and his family discovered a path forward through love, communication and respect. He shares all things grief and the GEMS model.

  • How Brian’s early fear of death shaped his life
  • The raw reality of losing a child—and how grief rewired him
  • How families can grow closer after tragedy
  • Society's roles and expectations during this time
  • The 4-Pillar "GEMS" Method (Gratitude, Exercise, Mindfulness, Sleep) that helped him survive 
  • How to honor loss without losing yourself 

This isn’t just a story of pain, it’s a blueprint for resilience. Whether you’ve faced loss or just fear it, Brian’s journey will change how you see life, death, and healing.
