It is possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems, and in time, the grief lessens.

In this episode, I am joined by Turner Grant,  an architect who lives in Washington, DC. After a life-long battle with depression, his wife of twenty years took her own life the day after Mother’s Day in 2010. Widowed at age fifty-one and deep in grief, Turner often found daily routines difficult and his work arduous. But after two years, he embarked on a journey to find his future, both in life and in love. His recently published book chronicles this journey.

Throughout this episode, Turner shares his experience with grief and how it impacted his life. He also shares why the depression conversations need to happen more often to help those fighting it. Additionally, he’ll share his experiences trying to rediscover love and why he decided to write a book about it.
