About this episode

Justice shares his experiences navigating grief and loss after graduation, particularly the death of a friend.

A few months after graduation, Justice received a heartbreaking message from an old classmate: Paul, his friend from a previous school, had passed away unexpectedly. Justice had endured a significant amount of loss over the past few years, but this experience was different. It was his first time processing the death of a friend or family member without his InterVarsity chapter next to him. Justice joins this week to share his experiences navigating grief and loss after graduation. And whether you’ve suffered the death of a loved one, or you’re experiencing the grief that comes from saying goodbye to your InterVarsity chapter and the college experience, Justice has a few meaningful insights to help you process.
