Ep. 291 | The Million Stages of Grief and Healing: Michael Reed

This week, Anita and Mel sit down with Michael Reed, who experienced an unimaginable loss when his wife and two daughters died in a fire in Gatlinburg, Tennessee in 2016. His son survived, and Michael was left to navigate a grief no parent should ever have to face. Michael shares his journey through the million stages of grief and the million stages of healing, the inspiration behind his books, The Million Stages of Grief and The Million Stages of Healing, and what it means to keep living when your entire world has changed in an instant. It's a deeply moving conversation about devastating loss, parenting through grief, finding a way forward, and discovering that healing isn't a straight line or a destination. There isn't just one way to grieve, and there certainly aren't just five stages. Michael's story is a powerful reminder that even after unimaginable loss, life can continue to unfold in ways we never expected.
