Grief can feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you—especially when the echoes of absence are amplified as your children leave home. In this deeply moving episode, grief coach, healer, and author Angela Clement joins us to explore how to honor profound loss while still building a life that feels true, grounded, and even joyful.

After losing her husband of 35 years to cancer, Angela shares her journey of rebuilding life from the smallest steps—a walk under open skies, jotting down gratitude, and trips to visit family—culminating in solo travel that rewired her sense of self. She provides practical tools for navigating grief and shares insights from her book, Awakening Through Grief, which blends her personal journey with prompts and exercises you can implement immediately. 

Highlights & Key Takeaways:

• Honor love while rediscovering joy after loss.
• Reframe grief as a natural response to life changes, not a sign of weakness.
• Use nature and creativity as daily healing practices for emotional wellness.
• Practical tools for managing grief surges both in public and at home.

If you’re wondering if it’s too late to feel happy or purposeful again, this episode offers a kinder map for your journey. Start small, stay curious, honor what was beautiful, and take those steps toward what lies ahead.
