“I’ll Be Right Here.” Dana on Grief, Courage, and Choosing Love

In this deeply moving episode of Talk With the Courageous Heart, I sit down with Dana Hobbs, a woman whose strength is shaped by love, loss, and unwavering compassion.Dana shares her journey through profound grief, including the loss of her son at just 15 years old due to a brain aneurysm, and how that experience reshaped her faith, her relationships, and her outlook on life. Instead of hardening, Dana chose a different path. A path filled with love, joy, and standing up for others.We talk about courage in the workplace, supporting those who do not yet have a voice, working with younger generations, and why showing up with a good spirit matters more than ever. Dana opens up about grief, resilience, and what it truly means to stand by someone, even when you cannot change their choices.Her final message is simple, honest, and powerful.“It is your decision. But I’ll be right here. To either catch you, or watch you.”This is a conversation about courage that does not shout. It stays. It listens. And it loves.
