Gracie Laufenberg shares her heartbreaking story of love and loss after her husband died just three months into their marriage.

They were only married for 3 months and 3 days and then everything changed. Today on the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sat down with Gracie Laufenberg to hear the story of a love that felt like it lasted a lifetime and the moment it was taken from her in an instant. From believing in love at first sight to building what she calls a perfect marriage and the phone call that shattered her world, this conversation will stay with you. Gracie opens up about the day her husband, Don, left for a flight and never came home, the moment she checked his location, and the words she’ll carry with her forever.
