WHY 🤍
People ask me all the time…
“Why do you keep talking about grief?”
I thought I was writing an “About” page for Pretty & Painful.
Instead, I discovered why this podcast exists.
The answer wasn’t a perfectly written mission statement.
It was one simple sentence.
I miss them.
And when I talk about them… they feel closer.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered why grief still shows up years later.
For anyone who’s ever kept a handwritten recipe card.
For anyone who still hears a loved one’s voice in the quiet moments.
For anyone learning to let grief and joy sit at the same table.
Maybe we won’t find the answer to every “why.”
But maybe we’ll discover that love is reason enough to keep telling the stories.
Pull up a chair.
I’m so glad you’re here. 🤍
