We talk about grief, sorrow, hardship, and suffering, and we also talk about the hope, beauty, and joy we are finding along the way. Tristan's (and his wife's) daughter died suddenly and tragically at about 4 years old. Kayla's (and her husband's) son was born with serious disabilities two years ago. Both families continue to grow and love and face hardships. This podcast addresses some of the hardest things in life. We don't sugarcoat suffering. But we laugh and have joy too. We also interview other people going through their own difficult battles and sorrows.
