Having endured the deaths of her one-year-old son, followed by her husband, brother, and sister-in-law, this week's guest Angie Hanson's journey through grief has been nothing short of harrowing. Yet from the depths of despair emerged a mission to alter perceptions around grief—a calling that led to the creation of Butterflies and Halos in 2022.
Butterflies and Halos is not your average greeting card company; it aims to provide comfort beyond mere sympathy by fostering genuine connection for those mourning. Additionally, Angie discusses her upcoming book "Chapters of a Resilient Heart," set for release in May 2024 (currently available for pre-order), which promises readers an intimate look at overcoming adversity with courage.
We talk about many facets of Angie's grief, from the relationships and support she had around her, parenting her daughter through her daughter's grief, and what she's learned about herself throughout it all.
Angie emphasizes choices made during grieving periods—the paths taken can drastically shape our healing process, as evidenced by contrasting outcomes within her family circle. Her message is clear: time may not heal all wounds but alters their impact on us over time.
This episode serves as both solace and inspiration for anyone navigating through similar turbulent waters or supporting someone who is—with an underlying reminder: hope persists even when shrouded by sorrow.
