Sandy’s Story — Love, Loss, and Learning to Live Without Him

from Change Happened, Then What? | Real Stories After Life Changes · host Heather Holt

Sandy didn’t just lose her partner—she lost the life they were building together. When Brian’s brain disease took him, it left behind a kind of grief that doesn’t follow rules or timelines.   In this deeply emotional episode, Sandy shares the story of their love, the reality of caregiving, and what it means to keep living after losing the person you thought you’d grow old with.   This is a story about enduring love, unimaginable loss, and the quiet strength it takes to move forward.
