Grief, Grace, and Giving Back: The Heart Behind 7 Roses

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Angel St. Clair, co-founder of 7 Roses, a nonprofit born out of unimaginable loss and deep love. After losing her 21-year-old son, Payton, in a tragic motorcycle accident, Angel and her family chose to honor his life in a way that brings hope and purpose to others.7 Roses was created to keep Payton’s memory alive while serving the community he loved so much. From scholarships for students pursuing careers as linemen and firefighters, to creative fundraising efforts and community events, this organization is making a meaningful impact while bringing healing to a grieving family.Angel shares the reality of navigating life after loss—the unexpected challenges, the importance of remembering loved ones out loud, and how grief, though painful, can also hold beauty. She offers encouragement for anyone walking through grief and reminds us that honoring someone doesn’t have to be grand—it can be found in small acts of love, remembrance, and service.This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the deepest pain, there is still purpose, connection, and light.To connect with Angel and learn more about 7 Roses, visit https://shorturl.at/Eqm09Want to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?
