Give Grief A Chance with Diane Morgan

It was an honor to be interviewed by Diane Morgan for her podcast Give Grief A Chance. In this conversation, Diane asks thoughtful, deep questions about my personal grief journey and the path I’ve walked since losing my son Shaun.

A Journey Through Grief

Grief is one of the most personal and profound experiences we face as humans. There’s no “right” way to grieve, no timeline that works for everyone, and no shortcuts through the pain. But there is hope, and there is healing on the other side.

In this interview, Diane and I discuss:

• The raw reality of losing a child
• How grief changed me as a person
• The decision point between staying in darkness or choosing life
• What healing really looks like (spoiler: it’s not what you might think)
• Practical insights for anyone walking their own grief path

Deep Questions, Honest Answers

Diane has a gift for asking the questions that matter—the ones that cut through surface-level conversation and get to the heart of what it means to grieve, heal, and transform. This conversation goes deep, and I share openly about both the darkness and the light of my journey.
