This episode of the Ditch the Suits Podcast explores the profound challenges of rebuilding life after the loss of a loved one. It focuses on both the emotional and practical decisions that arise in the wake of such a life-altering event.
A show follower asked Travis and Steve about their experience managing a family farm after losing a partner while also navigating the responsibility of caring for a mother who wants to remain nearby.
Recognizing that many people may face similar struggles, Travis committed to dedicating two full episodes to help others navigate life after loss.
Travis underscores the importance of open and honest conversations—with oneself and loved ones—as a key part of coping with Grief and making decisions. He advises listeners to allow themselves six to twelve months to grieve before considering any major life changes.
Through personal stories and professional insights, Travis and Steve highlight the importance of understanding one’s own emotions and desires while being mindful of the needs and feelings of those left behind.
