When Joanne Sutton recounts her tale of love and loss, it's impossible not to be moved. Her journey began with a chance encounter in Korea and culminated in the ultimate sacrifice of her military spouse. In a stirring conversation, we navigate the complex emotions of military widowhood and the challenges of parenting in the wake of profound loss. As Memorial Day draws near, we unpack the meaning of remembrance and the personal toll it exacts, revealing the intimate struggles and quiet strengths that emerge from such profound grief.

The nuances of navigating life after loss surge to the forefront as we explore the rituals of coping and the significance of memorial events like Angelversaries. Joanne and I share the evolution of our grief, acknowledging how the days that once demanded grand gestures now slip by with a more introspective gravity. From strange happenings that hint at the presence of our departed to the vacuum of identity post-widowhood, our candid exchange offers a glimpse into the tender balance between honoring memories and forging onward. Through laughter and tears, we embrace the mysteries and milestones that keep the spirits of our loved ones ever-present.
