This podcast is a compassionate space to honor love, loss, and the wisdom found in between.

Hosted by Shanna Brown, Grief Wise invites listeners into warm, openhearted conversations with people from all walks of life—each sharing their journey through grief, their memories of loved ones, and the enduring questions that loss leaves behind.

This podcast isn't just about sorrow—it's about connection. It's about finding grace in the midst of heartache, and holding space for stories that matter. With each guest, Shanna creates an atmosphere of kindness and healing, where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.

In this deeply moving episode of the Grief Wise podcast, we sit down with Hope Pulido, a woman whose journey through loss has been marked by what she calls the long goodbye. After losing her husband, Hope faced a grief that unfolded not in a single moment, but over time—a slow, aching farewell that began long before the final goodbye. With raw honesty and gentle strength, she shares what it means to love someone through illness, to hold on and let go at the same time, and to find yourself changed in the quiet, lingering spaces between life and loss. Hope’s story is a tender reminder that goodbyes aren’t always sudden—they can stretch across days, months, and memories—and that healing can begin even while we’re still saying farewell.

Whether you're walking through grief, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking deeper understanding, these conversations offer comfort, courage, and companionship.

Because grief touches us all, we walk through it together with gentle wisdom and unwavering love.
