Welcome to another episode of the Grief and Belief podcast, featuring Stephanie Driscoll. As the wife of our previous guest, Chris Driscoll, Stephanie joins us to share her powerful perspective on their journey after the loss of their daughter, Avery. Stephanie was Avery's primary caretaker through her illness, gaining a unique view of Avery's personality and her impact. She reflects on navigating the complexities of grief while caring for a loved one and how these experiences shaped her understanding of strength during trials.

A central part of Stephanie's journey is the transformative role of the temple in her grief and healing process. She discusses how the temple, especially the initiatories, became her "happy place". Stephanie shares the touching story of Avery's Make-a-Wish to visit temples and the tremendous temple work done in Avery's honor by their community. She offers profound insights into how having loved ones on the other side changes the temple experience, sharing her personal belief in acting as an "escort" for those whose ordinance work is completed.
