You’re Not Broken. You’re Grieving. Understanding Loss Beyond Death and Learning to Live Fully With It

  What if feeling off, heavy, or unlike yourself isn’t life falling apart—but grief that hasn’t been named yet? Grief doesn’t only come from death. It shows up after relationships end, careers collapse, health changes, homes shift—after every loss that wasn’t supposed to happen. When grief isn’t named, it quietly reshapes how life feels, how joy surfaces, and how the future looks. In this first episode of Meet the GameChangers, Rev. Kev (Kevin Ross) sits down with Melissa Hull, author of Dear Drew, whose son died in an accidental drowning. What Melissa learned from that loss reaches beyond tragedy—it gives language to the everyday experiences of loss most of us have felt but couldn’t put into words. This conversation doesn’t promise a quick fix or a tidy ending. It meets grief where it actually lives: in the body, in the choices we make, and in the way we learn to carry what’s lost without losing ourselves. Listeners will hear honest reflection and practical insights they can use in real time to start this year not by pushing pain aside—but by understanding it more deeply and living with it more fully.
