EP219 - Why Journey to Grateful?

Why call a podcast about grief Journey to Grateful? In this deeply personal episode, Tim shares the story behind the name—from the bereavement groups that helped him navigate the unfamiliar road after losing Colleen to a simple pillow she purchased years earlier bearing one powerful word: Grateful. Tim explores why gratitude does not mean being thankful for loss, how grief and gratitude can exist side by side, and why recognizing what love gave us can eventually become part of living well with grief. Because Journey to Grateful was never about becoming grateful for the loss—it was about becoming grateful that the love existed in the first place.
