The emotional aftermath of losing someone to ALS is a journey rarely discussed but vitally important to understand. Caroline, Jill, Jenny, and Deb—four remarkable women who lost husbands and a sister to ALS—share their paths through grief toward finding purpose and even joy again. Years after their losses, these women formed "Antiques Roadshow for ALS," a cycling team of women over 60 who donned pearls, vintage clothing, and tutus while raising over $28,000 for ALS TDI's research. Their stories reveal the complex reality of grief—how it never truly ends but evolves into something you learn to carry alongside new experiences and memories. These women candidly discuss experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD years after their losses, normalizing these ongoing struggles while demonstrating that healing doesn't mean forgetting. For those currently caregiving or recently bereaved, their stories offer a glimpse into a future where community, purpose, and even joy remain possible. Enjoy the listen and thanks for sharing with a friend. Hugs, Lorri
