What It’s Like to Lose Your Best Friend at 18

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

Aubrey Ide was only 18 when she lost her best friend Olivia Allen to cancer. In this episode, Aubrey sits down with Heather to share what it’s been like to grieve so young—how the loss changed her, what she misses most, and the milestones that feel so different without Olivia there. She talks about the things they didn’t get to do together, the deep loneliness of losing a friend at that age, and what healing looks like nearly a year later. This episode is a raw and honest look at a kind of grief that’s often overlooked—and the power of friendship that never really ends.
