Halfway Across the Bridge: Finding Strength in the Shadows

Grief often feels like darkness—an overwhelming loss of connection with the world and ourselves. In this episode, we reflect on Joseph Campbell’s The Blind Man at the Fair and Shel Silverstein’s The Bridge to understand grief as a journey of reawakening our emotional senses—empathy, compassion, and courage. Discover how, even in your darkest hour, you are sharpening the very traits that will guide you toward meaning, grace, and joy again. You’ve come this far—and the rest of the bridge is yours to cross.
