About this listen

Big life events are supposed to be all joy and celebration—but for caregivers, they can also stir up a lot of complicated emotions. In this episode, we talk about Ari’s wedding: the excitement, the chaos, and the very real grief of missing a key family member during such a milestone moment.


We share the push and pull between wanting to be fully present in a once-in-a-lifetime event, while also carrying the weight of absence. From navigating family dynamics, to finding ways to honor loved ones who can’t be there, to letting ourselves feel all the feelings, we open up about the beauty and heartbreak that can exist in the same breath.

This one’s for anyone who’s celebrated something huge while also holding onto loss. It’s messy. It’s tender. And you’re not alone.
