Episode 44: Grief and The Soul’s Journey with Vicki Rose

From staggering grief…to existing…to rediscovery and stepwork…to thriving again

If we live long enough, grief finds us.  Just depends on when, where and the type.   

But there’s an added layer when the person exits life at the hands of another person.  

And today’s guest has been on a journey since her dad was murdered back in 2001.

Years later, she wrote a book called “The Soul’s Journey”.  It’s a tool that addresses her experience and how she learned to process this profound, staggering grief. Vicki also learned how to live life with purpose while learning to accept the loss of this pillar in her life.

Finding Strength in Shared Loss – Navigating the “Motherless Adults Club” with Jay Herriott

Planet Noun episode 41

In a poignant new episode of the Planet Noun podcast, Liz and returning guest Jay Herriott engage in a deeply personal conversation about their shared experience of losing their mothers.

While the circumstances of their losses differ – one was a slow process over years…the other more quickly over days, the sting of each situation is evident, and universal.   While few desire membership in this club, the passing of loved ones – be it a parent, sibling, family member or friend – is an inevitable part of life.

Grief wallops us all in different ways. In Jay’s case, it was an unexpected illness, then his mother’s departure from this life less than a month later.

This conversation, though centered on grief, also underscores the importance of human connection and the solace found in shared experiences—even those born from sorrow. It highlights the difficult, yet universal, journey of navigating loss and finding a way to move forward while honoring the memory of those loved ones.

In Jay’s case, there are strong threads of hope and faith woven throughout his story. While he misses her deeply, there’s no worry about his dearly departed mother.  Jay says now that she’s gone, it’s time for those she left behind live the “life of service” that she modeled.
