The Grief Between Us episodes
- Faith In The DarkFor some, grief is not only about loss, but about the unraveling of what once felt certain.
Parker reflects on his experience growing up within a strong faith community and the gradual shift that occurred as he began to question his place within it. What followed was a deeply personal process of navigating identity, belonging, and the fear of losing connection with those he loved.
Drawing from his work in healthcare, Parker also shares how witnessing illness and end-of-life care shaped his understanding of grief and human connection.
This episode explores the complexity of faith transitions and the courage it takes to move toward a life that feels more honest, even when it comes with uncertainty.
