Love, Loss & Moving Forward with Grief with Parul Shah

from Soulful Feasts with Stephanie Zubiri · host Stephanie Zubiri

“I knew I’d be wearing white. I knew there would be flowers. But I didn’t know I’d be walking down the aisle at his funeral.”After losing her husband Stephen Ku to stage 4 lung cancer just months after their wedding—and losing both her parents during the pandemic in the span of a year—Parul Shah found herself drowning in grief, anger, and numbness. In this deeply raw conversation with Stephanie Zubiri, she opens up about the love story that changed her life, the darkness that followed unimaginable loss, and the painful but beautiful process of learning how to move forward with grief instead of trying to “move on.”This episode is a tender meditation on love, loss, healing, and self-compassion. If you’ve ever lost someone, lost yourself, or struggled to carry the weight of a broken dream, this conversation will hold your hand through it. Because grief isn’t just about death—it’s about learning how to live again.*** Soulful Feasts is now on YouTube!
