Welcome back to The Day After. Today, we have Warren joining us - the author of the book "Waving Goodbye". Warren share's his deeply personal story of love, loss, and the profound journey of grief.

In this episode, Warren opens up about the devastating loss of his wife Lisa to a rare blood cancer, and the overwhelming emotional toll it took on him and his family. He talks about the disbelief, the struggle to envision a future without her, and the all-consuming nature of grief in those early days, months, and years.

But amidst the pain, Warren also shares glimmers of light - the solace he found in music, the catharsis of writing, and the unexpected humor that helped him heal. He reflects on the process of gradually emerging from the depths of grief, learning to laugh again, and even navigating the world of dating with some sage advice from his daughter.

Warren's story is a testament to the transformative power of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the importance of finding gratitude even in our darkest moments. His book and his willingness to vulnerably share his experiences offer a beacon of hope and understanding to anyone navigating the complex landscape of loss.

In this honest, moving, and at times even humorous conversation, Warren reminds us that while grief may be a defining part of our lives, it doesn't have to be the end of our story. Join us as we explore the profound insights, hard-earned wisdom, and inspiring message of moving forward that Warren so generously shares with us.
