In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Matt and Rhonda, a couple who open their hearts to share the unimaginable — the sudden and unexpected passing of their beloved son. They take us through the harrowing day they received the life-altering news, recounting the shock, silence, and numbness that filled the long, quiet ride back home.
With raw honesty, they reflect on how their family navigated the grief that followed, and the small moments that began to shape their healing journey. Matt and Rhonda also offer a vulnerable look at how the tragedy has affected their marriage — the strain, but most importantly the resilience, renewed empathy, and deeper understanding they've found in each other through the pain.
This episode is a powerful reminder of love’s endurance, the complexity of grief, and the strength that can emerge even in the darkest chapters.
