Loving Through the Fire: An Insider-Outsider’s Perspective on Courage & Commitment
Episode description
What does it take to stand by someone as they navigate unimaginable loss, grief, and healing? My daughter-in-law, Nicki, joins me for a raw and powerful conversation about what it’s like to love and commit to someone who is walking through fire.
When she met Sean, all she knew was that he had a sister deep in addiction and a lot of anger about it. Less than a year later, Jamie was murdered, and Nicki suddenly found herself inside a world of grief, justice battles, and healing that she never could have imagined.
This is an emotional conversation about love, commitment, courage, and standing beside someone even when you don’t fully understand their pain. Nicki shares what it was like to step into our family, how Sean’s healing journey impacted her, and what she’s learned about holding space for someone while also standing strong in her own identity.
If you’ve ever loved someone through loss, grief, or hardship, this episode is for you.
