They were only married for 3 months and 3 days and then everything changed.

Today on the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sat down with Gracie Laufenberg to hear the story of a love that felt like it lasted a lifetime and the moment it was taken from her in an instant. From believing in love at first sight to building what she calls a perfect marriage and the phone call that shattered her world, this conversation will stay with you.

Gracie opens up about the day her husband, Don, left for a flight and never came home, the moment she checked his location, and the words she’ll carry with her forever.

This episode is about love, loss, faith, and finding strength when your future disappears overnight.

If you’ve ever faced grief, heartbreak, or unimaginable loss, this one is for you.
