Episode 001 | Part 2 | Karen Pfeifer | Gold Star Wife | The Conversation

from The Veterans Unmasked’s Podcast · host Veterans Unmasked

In Part 2 of our Memorial Day launch episode, we sit down with Gold Star Wife Karen Pfeifer for a raw and honest conversation about grief, military family life, loss, resilience, and moving forward after tragedy. After sharing the story of losing her husband, PFC Chris Pfeifer, and giving birth to their child just 24 hours later in Part 1, this episode opens the door to a deeper discussion about the long-term realities faced by Gold Star families and the strength required to carry on. This is not scripted. This is not surface-level. This is a real conversation about sacrifice, love, trauma, survival, and remembrance.
