Description

What happens when not one, but 6 widowed parents walk into a wedding — for the first time in a long time?

In this episode, Matt and Ben talk honestly about attending a close friend’s wedding after loss, navigating the emotional landmines of ceremonies, music, vows, and crowded rooms — and discovering something unexpected along the way: hope.

They explore:

• The anxiety of re-entering large social gatherings after grief
• Why weddings can hurt and heal at the same time
• How joy and sadness can coexist without canceling each other out
• What it means to see someone you love choose life again
• Why “living again” doesn’t mean forgetting who you lost

This conversation is for anyone who’s wondered whether they’ll ever feel comfortable celebrating love again — and for those who need proof that it is possible to hold grief and joy in the same breath.
