In this November installment of I Mae Be Wrong, But…, Caroline Mae Woodson engages with the notion that grief is “love with nowhere to go,” using Thornton Wilder’s line “the highest tribute to the dead is not grief, but gratitude.”
We talk about a grandmother’s engagement ring, a kitchen recipe card, and to broader themes of remembrance and living well, rather than simply mourning.

Interweaving pop-culture examinations of the show “Long Story Short”, the series “WandaVision”, and the song “The Luckiest” —she explores how grief and gratitude can sift into our everyday lives, not by vanishing, but by transforming. This episode invites listeners to reconsider how gratitude can become a practice, a lens through which we honor past love and continue forward, carrying both memory and motion.
