About who her brother was beyond the way he died. About remembering a person for how they lived, how they loved, the memories they left behind, and the impact they had on the people around them.Leonie shares the emotional complexity of grief: the confusion, anger, guilt, numbness, and the pressure people often feel to “move on” from something that changes them forever. We also speak about how grief affects identity, relationships, and everyday life, and how healing doesn’t always mean closure.This is an honest, vulnerable conversation about loss, love, memory, and learning to carry grief rather than outrun it.If this episode resonates with you, please consider sharing it with someone who may need it.
