The Biggest Lesson After Loss

At 56:25 · chapter starts 55:51

Jay asks about the experience of grieving alongside someone else who is also grieving — and Emilie goes deep. She was initially furious at Brady, unsure if she could ever forgive him. The shift came from a single thought: this could have just as easily been me. Brady was home with a 5-week-old that night, trying to settle the baby and defrost breast milk. That doesn't excuse the series of events, she says carefully — but it gave her the deepest, most real empathy she has ever felt for another person. They are in weekly couples counseling. They grieve separately at times and together at others. She is proud of them both for doing the work, and clear that Brady is the only person who can truly understand the love and loss she carries for Trigg.
