Episode 5: Getting Thru the Worst Possible Thing – with Jimmy Williams

What happens when your world shatters—and how do you begin to rebuild?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jimmy Williams, author of Getting Thru the Worst Possible Thing, who opens up about the heartbreaking loss of his son and the unthinkable grief that followed. With raw honesty and deep wisdom, Jimmy shares how he navigated his darkest moments and what he’s learned about resilience, faith, and the strength of the human spirit.

We talk about what it really means to “get through” rather than “get over” tragedy, the surprising places where healing begins, and how his journey led him to help others facing their own worst possible things.

Jimmy’s story is not just one of survival—it’s about transformation, purpose, and the enduring power of love.

🎧 This is a conversation for anyone who has experienced loss, supported someone in grief, or wondered what it takes to keep moving forward when life knocks you down.
