Grief changes our relationship with memory. Some days, remembering feels like a gift. Other days, it feels like too much to hold. In this episode, Ryanne sits down with Marshall Ramsey—award-winning cartoonist, cancer survivor, husband, and dad—to explore how to honor loved ones when even the memories ache. Marshall opens up about losing both of his parents and how art helped him navigate that loss, transform pain into purpose, and connect with others through storytelling. Together, they talk about how to hold love and grief at the same time, ways to mark a one-year “angelversary,” and how to help children grieve in their own way while you’re still finding yours. This episode reminds us that remembering isn’t about reliving—it’s about rebuilding.
