Podcasts about love loss

#980. Does grief actually get easier with time… or do you just learn how to live alongside it?Amanda Kloots is back on Off the Vine for a conversation about the part of grief we don't talk about enough: what happens years later, when the world has moved on but your relationship with loss is still changing. Amanda opens up about where she is six years after losing her husband Nick, why she no longer believes in being fully “healed,” and the unexpected therapy experience that completely shifted the way she looks at grief.She and Kaitlyn also talk about what actually helps when someone you love is grieving, why we're so afraid to talk about the people we've lost, and how Elvis is getting to know his dad as he gets older.Then things get a whole lot lighter with Harry Jowsey. Amanda takes us inside their unexpected friendship, what it was like helping him look for a wife on Netflix's Let's Marry Harry, and why losing Nick completely changed what she believes a healthy relationship should feel like.It's grief, healing, dating, friendship, a little Harry Jowsey chaos — and a conversation that might change the way you think about loss.If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

I've known Kara Mosher for a few years now and she has one hell of a story. Her road to Orthodoxy was already pretty wild. She spent years involved in the occult, New Age spirituality, psychedelics, and all kinds of things she thought might give her answers or healing. Eventually, that search led her somewhere she never expected: the Orthodox Church. This conversation is about love, loss, and what it means to surrender someone you love to God.  Kara shares the story of Jody, her partner of sixteen years, his long struggle with addiction, and the tragic fire that left him fighting for his life. In those final hours, Kara was given an unexpected opportunity to do something that Jody had wanted but never completed: baptize him into the Orthodox Church. We talk about that day, the firefighters who brought Jody back, the baptism, grief, providence, and what Kara means when she says this experience "crucified her will." This is a heavy conversation, but it's not a hopeless one. It's about discovering that loving someone doesn't mean you can save them—and learning to trust God when His answer looks nothing like the one you prayed for.  Guest Website: https://www.karamosher.com/ Sponsors: Podsworth App: https://podsworth.com Code: BUCK50 for HALF off your first order!

When Amy brought home her first working line Labrador, Flo, she quickly discovered just how different life could be from the show line Labrador she'd owned before.Flo was feisty, headstrong and full of energy, but she was also incredibly loved and taught Amy an enormous amount about living with and training a working line Labrador.Tragically, Flo became seriously ill and died at just two and a half years old after spending three weeks in intensive care.In this episode of The Labrador Podcast, Amy talks openly about losing Flo, making the decision to bring another Labrador into her life, and starting again with Nellie.Although Nellie came from the same breeder and is also a working line Labrador, Amy quickly discovered she was a completely different dog.Together we discuss:

This week I'm pausing to honor, grieve, and celebrate one of the most beautiful souls to ever walk this earth — Dolly Parton. I share what I tuned into energetically around Dolly in the time after her husband Carl Dean passed — and what I genuinely felt happening in her heart. We talk about what it means to die of a broken heart, the very real spiritual and physical truth of it, and the incredible love story between Dolly and Carl that spanned more than fifty years. From there, we move into pure celebration — because my God, did that woman live. I'm walking through some of my favorite Dolly quotes that stopped me in my tracks, made me laugh out loud, and honestly brought me to tears. Because hidden inside her humor and her sparkle was some of the deepest wisdom I've ever come across. This one is equal parts grief and joy — just like Dolly herself. What We Cover What Julie tuned into energetically in Dolly's heart after Carl Dean passed away The very real truth that we can die of a broken heart — and a personal story that confirms it Carl Dean's quotes celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary that will melt you The spiritual truth of free will at the end of our lives Why some souls simply don't have the energy to rebuild — and why that's okay How to work at being happy — not just hoping it arrives Dolly's quotes on hope, creativity, faith, and being too much for some people What Julie believes Dolly is doing on the Other Side right now Why highly sensitive, empathic people will feel this episode deep in their bones Dolly Quotes from This Episode "We all need to have hope that there's something bigger than we are. Even if I knew for a fact that there was no God, I'd still believe." "I do the best I can every day and I'm going to enjoy my life. Some people work at being miserable. I work at being happy." "I love getting on a big writing binge and staying up a couple of days working on a song and knowing at the end of those two or three days that I've created something that was never in the world before." "If my attitude needs adjusting, I visualize God holding me upside down and shaking all the negative stuff — fears, doubts, insecurities — right out of me. Try it." "I'll always be too much for some people, but I'll never be enough for me." Angel Message If you feel called to, talk to Dolly this week. I know it might sound a little out there — but I promise you, she talks back. And can't you just picture her on the Other Side, throwing the most joyful celebration with her soul family, finally traveling everywhere with Carl Dean by her side? Celebrate her. Honor her. And let her wisdom carry you forward this week. I love you, I love you, I love you.

Cindy Weinstein was just twenty-five when her father, Jerry, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease in his mid-fifties. Decades later, she returned to those memories in Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain, written with renowned neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller. Cindy is the Eli and Edythe Broad Professor of English at the California Institute of Technology and an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health. Her work brings together two worlds: the personal experience of loving a parent through dementia and the neuroscience that helps explain what is happening inside the brain. In this conversation, Cindy and Nicole talk about anticipatory grief, the moments in caregiving that stay frozen in time, and what it means to grieve someone who is still alive. Cindy shares how studying neuroscience changed the way she understood her father, why literature helped her make sense of experiences science alone couldn't explain, and how revisiting some of her most painful memories eventually allowed her to recover the joyful ones, too. They also explore a question at the heart of dementia caregiving: When memory, language, and recognition change, what happens to love? This is a conversation about Alzheimer's, but even more, it's about being a daughter. About grief that doesn't follow a timeline. About keeping each other company through experiences we cannot fix. And about remembering the whole person, not simply the disease that changed them.   To learn more about Cindy and her work at https://www.professorcindy.com/   We are not medical professionals and are not providing any medical advice.

Some decisions echo across generations.In this episode, Todd O'Donnell joins host Reh Bhanji to share a story he has carried his whole life. His father was a prominent Ontario lawyer, the architect behind the province's no-fault auto insurance. He was also a man who battled alcoholism and mental illness, and who passed away at just 59.Before he died, Todd's father made one quiet decision. He took out a life insurance policy. That single act of love gave Todd the foundation to open his agency, provide for his family, and carry forward a legacy his dad never got to see.Todd opens up about growing up in the shadow of addiction, the fear that still drives him, and the two critical illness journeys his wife Tara has faced. It is an honest conversation about family, mental health, protection, and why the time we share matters more than anything.Content note: this episode discusses addiction, alcoholism, mental health struggles, the loss of a parent, and cancer. Please take care while listening.If it moves you, share it with someone and start one meaningful conversation about protection this week.

This special edition marks Ukrainian Independence Day, August 24.In this feature interview, American author shares how an unexpected connection in Scotland set him on a path that led deep into Ukraine, where he met the people whose lives shaped his recently released book, The Time They Had. In this conversation, he reflects on the encounters that stayed with him: meeting Irina in Kolomyia, Ukraine— whose love story and loss are at the heart of The Time They Had; spending time with grieving mothers gathered by Svitlana Kominko of Maple Hope Foundation; and listening to soldiers, doctors, and families in shelters and field hospitals. He also speaks about his Caddie School for Soldiers in Scotland and about his time spent in Ukraine's war zone to understand the terror Ukraine's defenders face every day.This interview offers a glimpse into the journey behind the book — the people, the places, and the decisions that made it possible — and the human cost that can only be understood by being there.

We're joined by Connie Wilhoit, who shares the story of her son David, born with a complex congenital heart defect and raised through multiple surgeries, including the Fontan. Connie brings David to life in the small specifics: a jokester with a huge personality, a gamer who loved to holler across the house, and a legendary “trader” who always had a new deal up his sleeve.We also get honest about the parts families rarely say out loud. How do you explain to a child that he's different from his friends? How do siblings carry the diagnosis, the school questions, and the strange unfairness of hospital time? And what happens when the twin who shared every birthday has to face that date after loss? Connie speaks plainly about daily grief, memory, and the rituals that keep connection close, from visiting a headstone nearby to noticing a truck in the yard that still feels like him.Then the medical reality hits again: the day David asked for an ambulance for the first time, the terror of a sudden crisis, and the loneliness of hospitalization during COVID restrictions. We talk about adult congenital heart disease care, why many adults born with congenital heart defects still rely on pediatric specialists, and what it means to get “miracle” time at home before everything changes. If you're searching for bereaved parent support, congenital heart disease stories, or real conversations about child loss and sibling grief, this one holds space with warmth and clarity.If this resonates, subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more grieving families can find these stories.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

What if God is working behind the scenes, even when you can't see it?

Send us Fan MailThis week on Translational Conversations, we talk with Dr. Zoe Donaldson, a prairie vole researcher, and Dr. Katherine Shear, a human researcher, about how their work has inspired and influenced each other's research on attachment bonding, love and loss, and the development of Prolonged Grief Disorder. In this episode, Dr. Donaldson and Dr. Shear discuss the role of the brain's reward system in grief, how grief differs from depression, the special bonding of prairie voles that makes them an ideal species for studying grief, and how their complementary research has inspired novel treatments for Prolonged Grief Disorder. Their discussion further explores the bidirectional process of translational research, how to consider the language we use when communicating findings from different species, and ways we can build better bonds between researchers to advance scientific progress. We thank Dr. Zoe Donaldson, the Larry Gold Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Colorado Boulder and Dr. Katherine Shear, the Marion E. Kenworthy Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University and the founding Director of the Center for Prolonged Grief at Columbia School of Social Work, for their openness and willingness in discussing their research with us for this podcast.Translational Conversations is made possible through support from Biomedical Research Awareness Day, a program of Americans for Medical Progress and the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology.Resources & Links: Craving Love?

This week Nicola and Di welcome a very special double act, Grant Denyer and his wife Chezzi. Grant has spent decades entertaining Australians on television with his quick wit, boundless energy, and refreshing honesty about life's highs and lows. Chezzi's journey into spirituality and intuitive work has inspired so many to think differently about life's deeper questions. Together, this couple have weathered incredible highs and real challenges, and we loved every minute of getting to know their story. In this episode, we chat to Grant and Chezzi about how they met as colleagues who, by their own admission, didn't even like each other at first, until the moment when everything changed. We also talk candidly about the aftermath of Grant's horrific accident and the painkiller addiction that followed, and how Chezzi found herself thrust into the role of carer within weeks of their relationship beginning. It's raw, honest, and a powerful reminder of what it means to show up for someone through the hardest of times. We also dive into Chezzi's incredible book, The Weird Little Girl Who Talked to Ghosts, and her lifelong connection to spirit. She opens up about the childhood experiences she didn't understand, to losing touch with her gift entirely, to the profound loss that brought it flooding back. Her stories about the messages she's able to deliver, and the healing it brings to grieving families, are truly beautiful to hear. Grant and Chezzi also open up about the work they've each done on themselves around understanding their childhood wounds, learning how those patterns show up in marriage, and how self-awareness (rather than blame) has helped them build a stronger relationship. We talk about Grant's Gold Logie win, his fear of failure, and Chezzi's beautifully instinctive approach to life. This is one of those conversations that has it all: laughter, honesty and real wisdom. We had the best time chatting with Grant and Chezzi and we hope you love this episode as much as we did!

On November 7, 2018, Arik Housley's world shattered when his 18-year-old daughter, Alaina, was murdered—alongside eleven others—in a mass shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California.

With unflinching honesty, Housley recounts the early days of shock, the lifeline of community and the long road to healing. Always November: Lessons in Loss, Love, and Resilience is a courageous memoir of a father's journey through sorrow, a family's unbreakable bond, and the redemptive power of love in the darkest of times. For anyone who has ever suffered loss—or feared it, this book offers a powerful reminder that our loved ones never completely leave us, and hope is always within reach.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In this deeply moving episode of World of Wishes, we are honored to welcome Bryan DeCobo, a Wish Dad whose journey with Make‑A‑Wish has been shaped by love, loss, resilience, and extraordinary courage. Bryan shares the story of his two sons, Ethan and Liam, who were both diagnosed with a rare, life‑shortening condition known as Coats Plus Syndrome. He opens up about the unimaginable reality of parenting two medically fragile children, the grief of losing Ethan at just four years old, and the determination that led his family to fight—not only for their own children, but for every family facing this rare disease. That fight included starting a first‑of‑its‑kind foundation, pursuing experimental treatments, and helping establish a new standard of care that is now stabilizing Liam's condition. The episode also explores the power of wishes during life's most painful moments. Bryan reflects on Ethan's wish—a quiet, deeply personal trip to the mountains of North Carolina that became a sacred time for connection, love, and saying goodbye. He then shares the joy and light of Liam's wish: traveling to Washington, D.C. to attend John Cena's final wrestling match, where Liam met his hero and experienced a moment of pure, unforgettable joy. Beyond the wishes themselves, Bryan speaks candidly about fatherhood, vulnerability, and the importance of safe spaces for men navigating grief and fear. He discusses how joy is not just emotional—it can be transformational, even healing—and why Make‑A‑Wish is more than a moment in time; it is a force that brings light into the darkest chapters of a family's story. This episode is a powerful reminder that every family is carrying something unseen—and that love, purpose, and joy can coexist even in the presence of profound loss.

What happens when an architect's structured world collides with the freedom of art—and grief becomes the bridge between them? In episode 268, Ksenia Merck shares how illustrating Ghost Flower, the novel her late husband Bill left behind, turned heartbreak into a sweeping collaboration of love, art, and legacy. For Ksenia, the journey wasn't about letting go—it was about discovering that connection, like the cosmos she paints, simply continues.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(03:58) Ksenia's warm welcome and the story behind Ghost Flower(04:19) How she balances two worlds: architecture and art(05:29) The origin of Ghost Flower's cover and Bill's final days(09:07) Sketching the cosmos: bringing the novel's imagery to life(11:00) Creating The Ghost Flower Companion Journal(12:43) Remembering Bill: her "twin flame" and exceptional soul(17:51) Finding cosmic wonder in the night sky(19:39) Art as liberation: healing through creative freedom(22:38) Layered loss: navigating grief at her own pace(24:52) A mini life review: recording Bill's books and writing her ownKsenia J. Merck is an artist, architect, and creative storyteller whose work bridges structure, imagination, and spirit. After four decades managing airport capital programs, she turned to art after the unexpected passing of her husband, William F. Merck II, illustrating and posthumously publishing his science fiction novel, Ghost Flower, and later creating its companion journal. Drawing on her travels, marriage, and fascination with the cosmos, her work explores connection, resilience, and the continuum between life and loss. Originally from Arizona and now in Florida, she shares her story of grief, healing, and creative reinvention.In this episode, Ksenia opens up about the dual nature of her life — decades in the structured world of architecture, set against the liberating world of art. She shares how illustrating Ghost Flower became both a tribute to Bill and a path through grief, describing the immersive process of sketching the novel's imagery and how those sketches led to The Ghost Flower Companion Journal. She speaks tenderly about Bill as her "twin flame" and a compassionate leader, and about layered loss — her mother, her father, and then Bill — admitting to "blowout" days while coming to believe grief isn't an ending but a continuum she still feels connected to. She closes by sharing she's recording audiobooks of Bill's books, writing her own story, and points listeners to her website and Instagram.Connect with Ksenia J.

Few experiences shape us more profoundly than love and loss. In this encore episode of Ojai: Talk of the Town, acclaimed author Laurel Braitman reflects on the deeply personal journey behind her memoir, What Looks Like Bravery: A Journey Through Love & Loss.A graduate of Thacher School who grew up just over the hill in Santa Paula, Braitman returns to the landscapes that shaped her life as she recounts her father's battle with cancer, the complexities of family, and the unexpected ways grief can transform us. Today she serves as Writer-in-Residence at Stanford School of Medicine, where she explores the intersection of storytelling, medicine and the human experience.The conversation ranges well beyond the memoir. We discuss her remarkable parents, growing up in Ventura County, the many changes Ojai has experienced over the decades, the craft of writing, and the rapidly evolving world of publishing. We also revisit the fascinating story of Monarch, the California grizzly whose image inspired the state flag — and debate whether the famous bear came from the Sespe Wilderness or the nearby Tehachapi Mountains.Braitman is also the author of the bestselling "Animal Madness: How Anxious Dogs, Compulsive Parrots, and Elephants in Recovery Help Us Understand Ourselves," a groundbreaking exploration of animal behavior and what it reveals about ourselves.It's an intimate, thoughtful conversation about resilience, memory, place, and the stories we tell to make sense of our lives.Originally released as Episode 138.

She was five years old, curly-haired, dog-obsessed, and fearless about loving people others avoided. Then one night, what looked like a bad dream became a medical emergency, and her parents, David and Ann, found themselves racing toward a children's hospital with no clear answers, making choices no parent is ever prepared to make.We walk through the reality of sudden pediatric brain injury, including Kelly's rare arteriovenous malformation (AVM), the terrifying hours around surgery, and the days of waiting as coma turned into brain death testing. David and Anne share what helped them endure: the kindness of nurses, a surprising sense of peace in the ICU room, and a faith experience that felt like comfort arriving at the exact moment it was needed. If you've searched for language around grief, shock, and spiritual questions after child loss, their honesty offers a steady place to land.Kelly's legacy also becomes practical and life-changing through organ donation. With the guidance of an organ donor coordinator, the Corblys choose to donate, and they even meet Joshua, the little boy who receives Kelly's heart and lives six more months because of her. We also talk about long-term bereavement, protecting a marriage after trauma, and the rituals that keep love close, from a celebration of life filled with stuffed puppies to a golden retriever named Kelly's Angel.If Kelly's story moves you, please subscribe, share this episode with someone who may need it, and leave a review so more grieving families can find these conversations.To learn more about Kelly, visit her website: KellyCorbly.orgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

She opens up about the hope, fear, heartbreak, and profound grief of leaving the hospital without her baby in her arms, and how that experience forever changed her life, her family, and her work.Together, Emily and Mahaley explore the emotional realities many NICU parents carry long after the monitors are turned off and the hospital stay is over. We discuss trauma, attachment, grief, resilience, and the often-unspoken experience of trying to make sense of a story you never expected to live.This conversation is for every parent who has sat beside a hospital bed praying for good news. For every family carrying the weight of medical trauma. For every mother or father learning how to hold both grief and love at the same time.While this episode touches on profound loss, it is ultimately a story about connection, meaning, and the enduring bond between parent and child.

Season 2 is here and I am starting it with the episode I have needed to record for a long time. The last few years have been the hardest of my life. My sister died of triple negative breast cancer at 31, I faced my own cancer scares, I went through toxic mold exposure and PTSD, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, I found my way back to faith. In this solo episode, I walk you through all of it honestly: the mammogram callback that started a two-year testing spiral, why I stopped circulating tumor cell screening, what EMDR did for my nervous system that nothing else could, and how Dr. Joe Dispenza meditations and clarigenic medicine gave me back a relationship with something greater than myself. I also talk about my daughter Elle and the bullying that quietly dismantled her confidence, and the school change that gave her back to me in less than a week. And I share what is coming: a revised The Autoimmune Solution™ with new sections on trauma, COVID, and long COVID; a new website; and the Dr. Myers Inner Circle. I have missed you. I am back. And I have a lot left to do.

In this episode, Toni is joined by Jacqueline Lemieux Bokor, photographer and author of a beautifully illustrated book inspired by her beloved dog, Boris. Jacqueline shares the remarkable story of how Boris came into her life, the deep bond they formed, and the profound impact he had on her family over the years. The conversation takes a heartbreaking turn as Jacqueline recounts the devastating house fire that claimed Boris's life while simultaneously saving her family's. Awakened in the middle of the night by Boris's urgent barking, Jacqueline, her husband, and their young daughter escaped a rapidly spreading fire that ultimately destroyed their home. Through grief, loss, and rebuilding, Jacqueline reflects on the unexpected signs, memories, and moments of grace that helped her find meaning in the tragedy. Years later, those experiences became the foundation for a heartfelt book that combines photography, storytelling, and poetry to honor the bond between people and their dogs. Toni and Jacqueline explore themes of love, loss, gratitude, and the ways our pets continue to shape our lives long after they're gone. It's a moving conversation about resilience, remembrance, and the extraordinary gifts our dogs leave behind.

When do we get to the point in life when we begin to lose just as often as we win? Career restarts, divorces, the death of a parent, the loss of a friend? For Chris Jones it all began roughly a decade ago, when he discovered his wife's romantic texts with his close male friend, and his marriage ended abruptly with a single sentence: "I saw it all. I'm done." That moment led Jones - an award-winning writer for Esquire, The Atlantic and ESPN - into a new phase of his life, when introspection, vulnerability, and love for a blue collar English soccer team gave him perspective on what it means to win and lose in life. On this episode of Paternal, Jones recounts the moment he discovered his wife's infidelity, why his therapist recommended he consider picking up trash around town, and how he used soccer to connect with his English ancestors and his teenaged son during a time when he needed a win more than ever. Jones' new memoir Legs Hearts Minds is available wherever you buy books. He has appeared on Paternal twice in the past, in 2021 and again in 2022.

"We only get one life, and we don't know when that invisible clock is gonna run out. So you have to make time for people and for things that are important to you." — Christina AlonzoIt started as a normal weekend. By Tuesday, Christina Alonzo was sitting in an ER telling the doctor everything she had been quietly noticing for days. By Wednesday, the diagnosis was in: glioblastoma — an aggressive, inoperable brain cancer. Her husband Kurtis was 44 years old and had never even had a cold. From the date of diagnosis to the date of his death was four months.In this episode of Her Story Unscripted, Christina Alonzo returns to the podcast three years after her first appearance to share the story of the year that changed everything. She opens up about becoming Kurtis's full-time caregiver while raising a toddler, navigating impossible medical decisions, and the termination email from his employer that arrived the very night he died. She also shares the story of her 200-pound weight loss journey — and how losing the weight became something far more significant than she ever expected when Kurtis got sick. This is an honest conversation about grief, love, and what it actually looks like to keep living when someone you love is gone.For any woman who has ever taken time for granted, avoided a hard conversation, or wondered how anyone survives something this big — this episode is an unscripted reminder that life is shorter and more sacred than we let ourselves believe.

What does it mean to mourn a shared life? In this episode, essayist and novelist Siri Hustvedt speaks to book critic Mythili Rao about Ghost Stories. Her most personal work yet, it is a searing and intimate meditation on grief, memory and enduring love, written in the aftermath of the death of her husband, writer, poet and filmmaker Paul Auster. Weaving together journal entries, letters, emails and fragments of Auster's final writing, Hustvedt reflects on four decades of love, intellectual companionship and family life in New York. Together they discuss grief not as a single event but as an altered experience of time, memory and presence. Hustvedt discusses the role of writing in mourning, the value of nurturing an inner life in an age of constant distraction, and the intersection of personal grief and political dread in contemporary America. Siri Hustvedt is a novelist, essayist and poet. Her books include What I Loved, The Blazing World and Memories of the Future. Her latest book is Ghost Stories. Mythili Rao is a journalist, book critic and podcaster. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Ira sits down with Lahna Turner—comedian, writer, and co-director (with David Gantz) of the powerful documentary “Come What May,” chronicling the life of legendary comedian Ralphie May. It will screen, in partnership with The Laugh Factory, on May 7 at 7 p.m. at The Beverly Theater. Built from decades of never-before-seen archival footage, “Come What May” offers an unfiltered look at Ralphie's meteoric rise following “Last Comic Standing,” his ability to sell out massive venues, and his enduring presence as a late-night favorite. But beyond the spotlight lies a far more complex story. Lahna shares the emotional and creative journey of spending nearly ten years crafting a documentary that captures not only Ralphie's brilliance, but also his battles—with fame, addiction, and identity. We explore how she navigated telling such an intimate story while maintaining objectivity, despite their 17-year relationship and deeply personal history. From his extraordinary “people skills” and comedic instincts to the struggles that ultimate-ly overtook him, this conversation reveals the man behind the laughs. Lahna also reflects on their separation before his passing in 2017 during a Las Vegas stint, the challenges of revisiting painful memories, and the surprising discoveries she made along the way. Honest, raw, and deeply human, this episode is a must-listen for comedy fans and anyone interested in the price of fame—and the power of storytelling. (Also Watch Full Podcast Video)

Today on Too Opinionated, we're joined by Spanish-American singer-songwriter Juana Everett, discussing her powerful new single:

The Witness Files – Case 01: Waiting on the Other Side begins a new series exploring deeply personal true paranormal stories centred on presence, connection, and the possibility that love may continue beyond death. Sent in by Jenny, this case spans generations, wartime London, a haunted fire station in Bethnal Green, and a promise made between two people that may never have been broken.The story begins with Jenny's mother, who as a young girl in Peckham during the Second World War, experienced unexplained voices in her bedroom — two women speaking in a language she could not understand. Years later, after moving into a fire station flat in 1950s London, further strange activity followed. Objects moved, a man was heard whistling along to wartime songs, and a child described a figure standing at the end of the bed during storms. Even scepticism within the family would later soften when others admitted to sensing a presence in the flat.The account then moves forward to experiences after Jenny's father passed away — sightings in a cathedral, an electronic game seemingly playing by itself, and a powerful message delivered through a medium. At the heart of it all is a promise made decades earlier: that whichever one passed first would wait for the other. If you're drawn to true paranormal stories, after-death communication, spiritual encounters, and emotional witness testimony, The Witness Files – Case 01: Waiting on the Other Side is a moving story about love, memory, and the possibility that some connections never truly end.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/haunted-uk-podcast-ghosts-poltergeists-ufo-s-and-strange-creatures--6759967/support.Enter the world of Haunted UK Podcast, where we explore ghosts, poltergeists, UFOs, strange creatures, and the unexplained from across the UK and beyond.Website:https://hauntedukpodcast.comFollow Haunted UK Podcast:Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/hauntedukpodcast/X — https://x.com/HauntedUKPodYouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedUKPodcast1974Support the show:Patreon — https://www.patreon.com/cw/HauntedUKPodcastKo-fi — https://ko-fi.com/hauntedukpodcastListen on:Apple Podcasts — https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/haunted-uk-podcast-ghosts-poltergeists-ufos-and/id1571182283Spotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/4nzMpgYfGo7B8RUaMr8Hzm?si=0e5902c52e70480aContact:contactus@hauntedukpodcast.com
