What does healing actually look like after deep loss?

In this episode of The Grief Between Us, Patti sits with Angela to explore widowhood, long-term grief, faith, and the complicated journey of learning how to move forward without feeling like you’re leaving someone behind.

Angela shares the experience of losing her husband nearly eleven years ago and reflects on the ways grief has changed over time. Together, they talk about the difference between “moving on” and “moving forward,” the pressure society places on grieving people, and the guilt that can come when joy begins to return.

This conversation also explores motherhood, memory-making, faith, community support, and the importance of giving ourselves permission to keep living. Angela speaks openly about how grief softens over time without ever fully disappearing, and how healing doesn’t erase the scars left behind.

If you’ve ever struggled with the fear of becoming joyful again, or wondered whether healing means forgetting, this episode offers a compassionate and hopeful perspective.

The Grief Between Us is part of The Waiting Place, a non-profit dedicated to supporting those navigating grief and loss.
