Summary:
At some point, the thought 'should I date,' or something like that, arises in our grief. Maybe it is our family or close friends suggesting we get back out there, or our personal desire to not be quite so alone. The concept can be daunting, but John Polo helps make it seem a bit more feasible, and even offers some tips on prepping ourselves to find another love - not a replacement, but an addition, to our happiness. Listen in...

Notes:
John Polo is a coach, author and speaker. In January of 2016, John lost his wife, Michelle, to cancer. From the rubble of everything that he once knew, consumed by desperation and despair, John held on long enough until he found his hope. And he slowly rebuilt. Today John helps others through his social media, books, coaching, workshops, speeches and podcasts. From grief to dating, self-growth and everything in between, John offers a style of coaching that is not only effective, but also very personal and unique.

Summary:
In grief, we sometimes turn to books, looking for just the right words or phrases that echo our feelings.  While you may not think poetry is what you need at this point, we think you will find exactly what  you need in John Roedel's words. We did.

Notes:
John Roedel is a comic who unexpectedly gained notability as a writer and poet through his heartfelt Facebook conversations that went viral and became an Amazon best-selling book titled, Hey God. Hey John. He is the author of five books—Hey God. Hey John, Any Given Someday, Untied: The Poetry of What Comes Next, Remedy, and his latest work, Upon Departure, which explores through poetry the concept of our grief as a natural wonder that terraforms the landscape of our world in increments.

In June 2021, she took on the role of Executive Director for the organization. Kasey brings her nursing background to this role as well as a passion for hospice.
