What happens when life hits you with loss after loss, leaving you gasping for air? Just five weeks after losing her father to a rapid four-month battle with cancer, Steph Hogan sits down with Heather to share her story.
On top of losing her father, Steph has endured the heartbreak of losing her beloved dogs, Ted and Sadie and struggling through the pain of IVF and pregnancy loss.
Together, they dive into the raw and messy realities of anticipatory grief, losing a parent, and how the weight of cumulative grief can feel unbearable. Steph’s story is a powerful reminder that grief has no hierarchy; every loss is profound and valid.
