Description

If you love, you will likely grieve. That isn’t meant to sound heavy; it’s simply human. And most of us, if we haven’t already, will one day lose someone we love.

For today’s guest on Grieving Out Loud, those losses came much earlier than they do for many. Sylvia Wolfer was just seven years old when her father died suddenly from a heart attack. At 17, she lost her younger brother in a car crash. Several years later, her older brother was killed in a separate car crash.

Since then, Sylvia has learned not only how to navigate her own grief, but how to walk alongside others in theirs. She believes grief doesn’t disappear, but it can change. It can become something you carry, rather than something that controls you.

In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, Sylvia shares practical ways to move through grief and reflects on what her own losses have taught her about resilience, perspective and the fragile, beautiful nature of life.
