I Just Want My Life Back
Grief is a Privilege Episode 19
In this episode, I explore the idea that while none of us would choose the pain of losing someone we love, our grief reflects the extraordinary gift of having loved deeply in the first place. It's a quiet reflection on love, loss, gratitude, and why grief may be the final expression of a relationship that continues to shape us.If you've ever wondered how something so painful can also be so meaningful, this conversation is for you. I Just Want My Life Back is my personal audio journal — small, quiet reflections from a life reshaped by loss. It’s separate from my professional work with the International Firebird Book Awards, yet deeply connected in spirit: both are about truth-telling, expression, and finding meaning through words. These are qualities I also value deeply in the books and authors we honor.
