This week on Ghosted, I’m talking to Brittany about losing her mom, Alyse, when she was just 17 years old after a seven-year battle with rare appendix cancer.
We talk about what it’s like to grow up alongside a long illness, the anticipatory grief that lives in those years, and the people who stepped up when Brittany needed them most.
Brittany now works in grief therapy, inspired deeply by her mom, the empath, the emotional glue of her friend group. We talk about how we model happy, healthy lives because we’ve seen them. How love teaches us how to live. And how grief can shape not just what we lose, but who we become.
This one is about legacy. And about becoming what she showed you.
