In this episode, I speak with Clarissa Moll, a friend, author, mother and recent widow. Clarissa lost her husband of 17 years, Rob, in a hiking accident. She was left to parent her four children and deal with the traumatic aftermath of it all.

In her grief, Clarissa has invited others alongside her online. She's created a beautiful online space on Instagram and shared her words of wisdom in tons of articles online everywhere from Christianity Today to the Gospel Coalition.

Despite her struggle, Clarissa has a joyful and resilient spirit. I've been privileged to get to know her this year, as a fellow writer and mom! You can read her new book, "Beyond the Darkness: A Gentle Guide for for Living with Grief and Thriving After Loss."
