Description
In this deeply moving episode of The School of Heritage, I’m joined by Debra Hall, a poet from Racine whose words gently explore love, loss, caregiving, and the quiet courage it takes to let go. Through poetry, Debra gives voice to emotions many of us feel but struggle to express—grief, devotion, exhaustion, gratitude, and enduring love.
We talk about how poetry becomes a vessel for processing life’s most intimate moments, especially in seasons of caregiving and transition. Debra shares how writing can hold space for tenderness without denying pain, and how art allows us to honor both what we are losing and what still remains.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and remember that even in the act of letting go, love continues to speak—softly, honestly, and beautifully.
