What happens when your soulmate isn't a romantic partner — but your best friend — and they're suddenly gone?
In this heart-opening episode, I sit down with writer, performer, and podcast host Hannah Rumsey to explore the often-overlooked pain of grieving the loss of a friend. After losing her friend Lauren in a tragic accident, Hannah found herself in a grief no one seemed to understand — one without rituals, recognition, or even language.
Through storytelling, personal reflection, and a profound spiritual experience, Hannah turned her heartbreak into Friends Missing Friends, a community and podcast for those who have loved and lost a friend.
🧠 We talk about:
- Why society often dismisses friend grief
- The power of platonic love and chosen family
- How creativity and storytelling can help us heal
- What not to say to someone who’s grieving a friend
- Signs from the other side — and how they help us stay connected
Whether you’ve lost a childhood best friend, a soul friend, or someone you drifted from before they passed — this episode is for you.
