Heidi Prowse, Ben Alexander and Matt Breen

from The R4R Podcast: Road to Zero Hosted by Running for Resilience

What does “bouncing back” really mean after unimaginable loss? In part two of our conversation with Heidi Prowse OAM, we explore what life looks like after losing her husband, Andrew... and how she’s found new ways to move forward through grief, purpose, and service to others. Heidi shares how resilience isn’t about “getting over it,” but about learning to live with the ache… to say yes to coffee with a friend, to sing along in the car, to let the smallest moments stitch you back together. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes “back” looks nothing like before... and that’s okay.
