A Yearlong Friendship And A Hard Goodbye

Your heart can feel the loss before your phone ever rings. I’m sharing a short, heavy bonus episode about death, grief, and the day I learned my friend and coworker Adeline Chapman had passed away. We met on the job and became fast friends in a way that surprised me, because I’m not the type to run with a crowd. But with her, the bond was real, simple, and steady.

I talk about the little things that became big things: rides home after second shift so she wouldn’t have to catch the bus, dinners together, and the way we kept showing up for each other even after she got sick and couldn’t work anymore. When cancer entered the picture, I didn’t even know at first and that truth hit hard. It also opened up a deeper conversation about how people sometimes hide painful news from the ones they love most, and what it means to stay close when life gets scary.

From there, I get honest about family hurt and the pattern I can’t stand: families who only come together when someone is dying or already gone. None of us knows when life will change, so I’m asking the question out loud: why not love now, support now, fix what can be fixed now? If you’ve been dealing with loss, friendship after illness, family division, or searching for spiritual comfort, this one is for you.
