Some people have a way of making the world brighter simply by being in it. For me, that person was my dear friend, Nicholas Evan Newman. In this deeply personal tribute, I share the story of a friendship that carried me through some of my darkest seasons—including the grief of losing my dad—and the heartbreaking reality of losing Nick to suicide in 2022.

You’ll hear how Nick’s joy, loyalty, and quiet strength left a permanent imprint on my life, and why his legacy continues to speak hope, even in his absence. This episode is a reminder that your grief is valid, your presence matters, and your life has more value than you may ever know.

If you’ve experienced suicide loss—or any form of grief and loss—I pray this conversation brings comfort, encourages you to reach out for support, and reminds you that God’s light still shines in the darkest places.

Remember: You’re not alone in your grief or your faith journey. God sees you, loves you, and wants to walk with you every step of the way.

❤️ Kaitlyn
