In July of 2025, Brian's wife of 45 years died. This loss has brought him into a new, deeper and more complex experience of grief. Christmas 2025 will be the first one in 4 1/2 decades without Diane's presence and participation.
This episode of The Heart of Grief is the fusing of two episodes from December 2024. Part two of this combo is a focus on spiritual faith in the bereavement journey. This is drawn from Brian's personal Christian faith.
