A Father Finds the Words After Catastrophic Loss

What do you say when someone close to you has lost everything? Colin Campbell, author of FINDING THE WORDS: Working Through Profound Loss With Hope And Purpose talks with Erin about losing his two teenage children, Ruby and Hart, who were killed by a drunk driver in a car crash in 2019, leaving him and his wife Gail grappling with their own identities as parents. Colin shares how we can show up for each other in times of acute tragedy and avoid the platitudes we tend to lean on when we don’t know what to say, finding laughter and embracing joy again through creative work and ritual, and what his kids taught him about the meaning of life.
