Go With Grace is a platform built from the hardest kind of knowing. After losing her daughter, her father, and then her partner Chris to suicide, Katy didn’t try to fix her grief. She chose to hold it, and then she chose to help others do the same.

This conversation moves through the raw terrain of grief, suicide loss, end-of-life planning, and what it means to live in a world that rarely prepares us for any of it. Katy shares what it was like to be in shock and still have to make decisions. She talks about what helped, what didn’t, and how we can better show up for people when everything falls apart.

You’ll also hear about Dying Matters Week, compassionate communities, and why your village matters more than ever.

This episode is full of emotional clarity, practical insight, and the quiet reminder that showing up, even with soup or silence, matters more than we think.
