About this episode

Kathleen Barrett shares her experience of losing her husband Ned and the enduring love she feels for him beyond his death.

This week I sit down with Kathleen Barrett who shares the sudden loss of her husband Ned , who died unexpectedly at home. Kathleen and Ned had been together since they were very young, sharing almost 40 years of love, life, and a beautiful family together. In this deeply moving conversation, Kathleen speaks not only about the heartbreak of loosing him, but also about the enduring connection she still feels with him every day. Her main message is one of love beyond loss, that while grief has changed over time, she no longer feels consumed by deep sadness because she has a complete certainty that Ned is still with her in different ways. Kathleen speaks beautifully about signs, connection, and the comfort she has found in believing that love does not end when someone dies.
