When the world crumbles around you, what's left of your commitments? With raw emotion, I, Linda Carter, take you through the labyrinth of grief after the loss of my dear husband, KJ. It's a solitary journey, one where commitments take on new meaning and sincerity in relationships becomes your guiding star. I share my personal narrative of tightening my inner circle, the power behind a deliberate 'no', and the unforeseen strength found in solitude. The heartache of loss extends beyond personal woes, touching the lives of children, an area that demands our gentle attention. Prepare to hear more on this as we open our doors to those who have stories to echo in future episodes.

This intimate discussion also offers solace to those who find themselves judged in their grieving. Healing isn't one-size-fits-all, and I recount the bespoke pathways I've carved out, from combating panic attacks to seeking solace in nature’s redbirds. The chapter closes with a candid moment, an apology for the brevity of our talk due to an untimely ailment, and a promise for richer, more in-depth conversations to come. Your contributions are the heartbeat of our next episodes, and I welcome your stories and topics as we continue this exploration of life, loss, and the commitments that shape us.
