Today I’m sitting down with Rachel Hart-Phillips, a deeply courageous griever and founder of Love, Loss, and Disco Balls, which offers heartfelt sympathy cards for those grieving and supporting others through grief.

In this episode, Rachel shares her powerful story of surviving multiple devastating losses, and how she has found healing, hope, and love again.

She opens up about losing both her parents to cancer in her early adulthood, and the life-altering experience of losing her husband to suicide while she was pregnant with their son. With raw honesty, she reflects on navigating anger, shock, and loneliness in the aftermath of traumatic grief, all while preparing to become a mother.

Now remarried and raising her five-year-old son with her partner, Warren, Rachel shares how she’s created a new life rooted in resilience, joy, and community. She also talks about building her grief-inspired business, Love, Loss, and Disco Balls.

This episode is a moving conversation about grief after suicide, parental loss, motherhood through grief, and what it really looks like to heal and rebuild. Whether you’re grieving a loved one, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for inspiration through the darkness, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and not so alone.
