In this episode of Journey to Grateful, I explore the often-misunderstood difference between “moving on” and “moving forward” after loss. While the phrase “move on” suggests leaving our loved ones behind, the reality is far different. Moving forward means carrying their love, their influence, and their memory with us into the life we are still building. I share personal reflections — from childhood observations of grief to my own experience of losing a spouse — and why embracing the past while living in the present is not only possible, but necessary. Join me as we uncover how to live fully while honoring those who remain part of us, always.
