In this deeply heartfelt episode, I sit down with two of my favorite people in the world—Karen and Patrick—my late husband Jimmy’s best friends. For over 20 years, these two have been more than friends; they’ve been family. They’ve walked alongside me through life’s highs and lows, and their unwavering support, especially after Jimmy’s passing, has been nothing short of a lifeline for me and my daughters.
We dive into:
- How Karen and Patrick met Jimmy and the lifelong bond they built.
- Their favorite memories of Jimmy—from his adventurous spirit to his knack for bringing people together.
- How they’ve stepped up as a support system for me and my girls, even becoming surrogate family in the toughest moments.
- What it’s like to navigate grief together and the ways they keep Jimmy’s memory alive today.
This episode is a raw and emotional conversation about love, loss, and the power of friendship. We talk about the healing journey, the traditions that keep Jimmy’s legacy alive, and how to show up for the people you care about during life’s hardest seasons.
Whether you’ve experienced a similar loss or just want to hear a story of incredible friendship and resilience, this episode will leave you inspired and reminded of the importance of community.
