Grief, Healing, and Moving Forward | Solo Episode - More Life with Carl Radke | Lyssna här

Nobody teaches you how to grieve.

In this special solo episode of More Life, Carl reflects on the sixth anniversary of losing his older brother, Curtis, to addiction. He shares the guilt, anger, heartbreak, and unexpected moments of hope that followed—and how that loss became the catalyst for his own sobriety and a completely different life.

Carl also talks about what grief actually looks like years later, why anniversaries can still hit hard, how to show up for someone who's hurting, and why talking about the darkest moments can help someone else feel less alone.

Whether you've lost someone, love someone who's grieving, or are navigating your own healing, this conversation is for you.

Grief doesn't stop. You just learn to carry it.
