From Tragedy to Two Truths: Carrie Wise on Loss, Forgiveness, and Moving Forward

In this episode, Sarah Bachmann sits down with Carrie Wise for a deeply personal conversation about grief, domestic violence, trauma, and the complicated realities of losing both of her parents within a matter of months. Carrie shares the story of her mother's death, her father's role in it, and the difficult journey that followed as she navigated grief, unanswered questions, and the impact those events had on her life and family.Throughout the conversation, Carrie reflects on what she calls "two truths"—the love she had for her mother and the love she still carried for her father despite what happened. She also discusses forgiveness, PTSD, advocacy, and her desire to help others who may be experiencing domestic violence, trauma, or a form of grief that can feel difficult to explain. It's an honest conversation about loss, resilience, and finding a way forward after unimaginable circumstances.
