Grief changes us. But according to Nadine Cooper, it can also reveal what mattered most all along. After walking beside her husband through a long illness and eventually losing him, Nadine reflects on what grief has taught her about love, purpose, faith, and the stories we tell ourselves. Drawing on decades of helping people heal through coaching and personal growth, she shares practical wisdom about changing limiting beliefs, understanding our own worth, building stronger relationships, and becoming more compassionate through life's hardest experiences. One of the most moving moments of the conversation comes when Nadine answers a simple question: "What do you miss most?" Her response offers a fresh perspective on grief and may change the way you support someone who is mourning.
