In this deeply moving episode, Lisa sits down with Angie Hanson to talk about grief in its rawest, most life-altering forms. Angie shares the devastating loss of her one-year-old son, followed by the terminal cancer and death of her husband, and then the loss of her brother—all within just a few years.
Rather than shutting down, Angie chose to survive, rebuild, and eventually create meaning through grief. From journaling and sleep to parenting through unimaginable loss, this conversation explores what it truly looks like to live after tragedy—and how grief doesn’t end, but transforms.
This episode is for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind or who wants to understand better how to show up for others when words feel inadequate.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Grief is not linear and never truly ends—it becomes part of who you are
- Children process loss differently and often carry unexpected resilience
- Survival after loss is a daily choice, sometimes made minute by minute
- Being seen and acknowledged in grief matters more than “the right words.”
- Loss can become purpose when pain is transformed into service and hope
