They discuss the turning point when faith became a steadying force, the new shape grief takes over time, and practical ways to preserve a loved one’s legacy. Joi shares details about the upcoming online retreat “Don’t Grieve Alone” (Oct 3–5) — a guided space for healing through story, journaling, prayer, and community.
