S5E1.2 Twice Widowed, Still Standing (Pt. 2): “It’s Happening Again”—and You Still Have to Parent

What happens when grief doesn’t just visit once—when it repeats? In this conversation, Michael Chapman and Matt talk through the kind of loss that changes your nervous system: sitting in a hospital room watching “a repeat of history,” the exhaustion that makes reality blur, and the moment a nurse gives permission to step away—because sometimes that’s when it happens. They get into the parts people rarely say out loud: the numbness that shows up as a survival skill, the impossible job of telling your kids their mom is gone, and the ongoing tug-of-war between holding it together and actually feeling it. Michael shares how writing became a way to carry the story—how a Facebook “vent” turned into a book, and why finishing it felt like setting down a heavy weight.Book available here: https://www.amazon.com/Two-Days-Calendar-Life-Lessons/dp/B0DK6DFT5DSupport the showReady for more than just listening?
