In this episode of Ghosted, Jack shares his story of losing his fiancé just three months after their engagement on Christmas Eve. We are releasing this conversation during the holidays because grief does not pause when the world feels festive, and for many people this season can be one of the hardest.
Jack opens up about what it means to mourn not only the person you loved, but also the life you were building together. We talk about how he began posting on social media as a way to process his grief and connect with others, and why it can sometimes feel harder to be fully honest with family and friends, not because they do not care, but because you do not want to feel like a burden.
He shares what it has been like learning to feel excited about building a new life, what dating looks like after loss, and the lesson his late husband left him with, to live in the moment. Jack also reflects on the deep relationship he continues to have with his fiancé’s family, the stability that support has given him during this time, and his hope to one day create a fund to help others navigating grief.
This conversation is about love, loss, and choosing to keep living, even when life looks nothing like you imagined.
