Grief is never one-size-fits-all. Heather sits down with the Best family—Lisa, along with her adult children, Aly and Tyler—to talk about life after the sudden loss of their husband and father, Bob Best, who passed away on May 7, 2018. They share how the same loss can affect each person in unique ways—a wife mourning her partner, children grieving a father, and the lasting impact of sudden loss years later.
This conversation explores the many faces of grief, the trauma of unexpected death, and how love endures even after loss.
