EPISODE 75: Donna

The podcast explores themes of love, loss, and resilience through the lens of a man who lost his wife three years prior. He shares how he copes with grief by keeping busy, including caring for his tortoise, Rico, and hosting international cyclists through Warm Showers. He reflects on his 25-year relationship with his wife, Donna, her battle with diabetes, and the impact of her death on his life, including giving up his 35-year karate practice. He recounts a touching story of a jeweler who gifted him a redesigned wedding ring after Donna's passing and the comfort he finds in small signs that remind him of her presence. He also discusses his work for a Russian family and their unique perspectives.
