In this opening episode of Love Survives Grief, Stephanie and Shaun introduce themselves not as experts or therapists, but as two ordinary parents whose lives were forever changed by unimaginable loss.

Together, they share their earliest experiences with death and grief, how loss shaped them long before becoming grieving parents themselves, and the ways those past experiences compare to the devastating reality of losing a child. Through honest conversation, they reflect on the shock of entering a world no one ever expects to join and the loneliness that often follows traumatic loss.

Stephanie and Shaun also open up about why they created this podcast: to give grieving families a place where hard conversations are welcomed, painful emotions are understood, and no one has to feel so alone in their grief. Love Survives Grief is a space for raw truth, healing, remembrance, and hope — a reminder that even after life’s darkest moments, love still survives.
