The Full Catastrophe: Losing a Son and Learning How to Live Again

from A Place of Yes | A Grief Podcast · host Heather Straughter

This week’s episode is a special live recording from Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs, where Heather sits down with author Casey Mulligan Walsh to talk about her deeply moving memoir, The Full Catastrophe. Orphaned by twelve, the only surviving sibling, and later a mother navigating divorce and the unraveling of her family, Casey opens up about the grief that shaped her life—and the unimaginable loss of her firstborn son, Eric, at age twenty. With raw honesty and powerful spiritual reflection, Casey shares how she’s found meaning through the pain, and how love, resilience, and hope carried her through her family’s darkest moments. This conversation is a testament to surviving the unimaginable—and learning how to live again.
