Hope After Loss: Lessons from a Season of Healing


Listen Later

In this final episode of season four, I take some time to reflect on the journey we’ve been on together and what this season has taught me about healing after loss.

Over the past few months I’ve spoken to so many incredible people who’ve shared their stories with such honesty and courage. I’ve also had my own moments of reflection, especially as I reach ten years since Simon died. My connection with him continues to evolve in beautiful ways, and I’ve come to understand that healing isn’t about moving on but about going deeper into ourselves, into life, and into love.

I talk about what I’ve learned through this year’s grief retreats at Toft Manor, the extraordinary women I’ve met, and a powerful moment of truth that reminded me how gratitude and growth can exist within grief. I share why I believe that life after loss can hold meaning, joy and purpose again, and how the gifts that come from our pain can become the foundation for a new and peaceful chapter.

We explore:

  • What it really means to go deeper into healing
  • How community and shared stories help us feel less alone
  • The evolving connection we have with the people we’ve lost
  • Why transformation and gratitude are key to long-term healing
  • The lessons from Toft Manor and the courage to speak our truth
  • How joy, love and grief can all coexist
