A military loss is a loss that the whole country feels. For friends and family of the fallen, it is a heartbreaking experience softened by the sympathy and support from their communities. In August 2021, Utah Marine Staff Sgt.Taylor Hoover was one of 14 U.S. service members killed in a terrorist attack in Afghanistan. On this episode of the Relentlessly Resilient podcast, one of Hoover’s closest friends, Kayleigh (Snedeger) White, shares their story of friendship, loss, and how outsiders can support the families of our fallen heroes.

Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
