In this heartfelt episode, we’re joined by Carolyn, Sharon’s daughter, for an intimate conversation about grief, family dynamics, and the long road to healing. Together, we reflect on the life and loss of JM—Sharon’s son and Carolyn’s brother—and how his sudden passing reshaped their mother-daughter relationship.

We discuss the emotional distance that grief created between them and how they’re slowly working to reconnect. With Carolyn’s background in psychology, we also explore how even a deep understanding of the human mind can’t shield us from the raw, unpredictable nature of personal loss.

This is a vulnerable, honest look at how families change in the wake of tragedy—and how love, communication, and time can help begin to mend what’s been broken.
