EP226 - THE PEOPLE WHO NEVER KNEW YOU
From Journey to Grateful · 34:30
Show by Tim Bigonia
One of the unexpected aches of long-term grief is realizing that the people becoming important in our lives today will never have the opportunity to know someone we loved before. Following a weekend visiting his sons at college, Tim reflects on a small but deeply meaningful moment that revealed a sadness he hadn’t anticipated—not simply that his late wife, Colleen, was missing another milestone, but that the people entering his children’s lives would never experience the person she was. From new friendships to growing families and relationships that begin years after a loss, this episode explores the quiet, often invisible grief of introductions that can never happen. It’s a conversation about the difference between hearing stories about someone and truly knowing them, and the nearly indescribable ache of wishing the people we care about today could have known the people we loved yesterday.• • • Support the Journey: Journey to Grateful is independently produced and always free to listen to.
