In this beautifully honest episode, Vicki Goodman shares her experience of losing her beloved husband Sam after a two-year battle with liver cancer. Vicki reflects on their love story, their decision to live fully even after a terminal diagnosis, and the bittersweet journey of caring for Sam through his final months.
Vicki opens up about the anticipatory grief she faced — how she prepared for his passing while holding onto hope, the complex emotions of caregiving, and the unexpected moments of strength and peace that surfaced in the darkest times. She also shares how music, community, and a slower-paced life helped her rebuild after Sam's death, leading to her work with the grief community through Inspired Grief.
This conversation is a testament to the transformative power of love, the courage required to face loss head-on, and the resilience that grief demands. Whether you’ve experienced a similar loss or are walking beside someone who has, Vicki’s story will resonate deeply.
