Grief doesn’t have a timeline. Healing doesn’t mean “getting over it.” Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is tell our story and allow ourselves to be heard.
I recently joined Angela on the 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙡’𝙨 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮 podcast to talk about navigating death, grief, resilience, and the emotional realities first responders face every day. We discussed the importance of processing emotions instead of suppressing them, how grief looks different for every person, and why support should meet people where they are.
I also shared the story of Shadow, my former service dog turned crisis response dog, and how he helped bring comfort and connection during one of the most heartbreaking tragedies I’ve witnessed.
If you’ve experienced loss, support others through grief, or simply want to better understand the human side of resilience, I hope this conversation speaks to you.
