Episode Details

Grief is something we think we understand — until it happens to us.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it feels like when loss doesn’t just hurt, but changes you. Losing someone to suicide leaves behind more than sadness. It leaves shock. Questions that don’t have answers. Guilt you didn’t expect. A quiet realization that people can be carrying far more than we ever see.

Bannon Greer shares about losing one of his closest friends and how that loss reshaped the way he moves through the world. How it shifted the way he sees conversations, friendships, and even ordinary days. And how it pushed him to become more intentional — to check in, to show up, to care more deliberately.

We talk about the disorientation of grief. The way life keeps moving when yours feels paused. And how small acts of service — simple, consistent presence — can become part of healing.

If you’ve ever felt blindsided by loss… If you’ve wrestled with questions that don’t have clean answers… If you’ve felt alone in your pain while everyone else carried on…

This conversation is for you.
