12:00pm CT: This week on We Should Write, Lindsay Lawler is joined by author, Soul Talks podcast host, and jewelry designer Theresa Bruno for one of the most vulnerable conversations we’ve ever had on the show. Teresa’s new book, He’s Not Coming Back, chronicles the unthinkable loss of her husband to suicide and the lifelong journey of grief that now follows—not as something to “move past,” but as something to live with, honor, and transform. In this episode, Theresa will open up about how grief doesn’t take a vacation, why nature became her greatest healer, and how small, intentional rituals can keep love present even after loss. We talk about what it means to live fully when your life has been shattered, and how connection—real connection, without pretending—is the pathway to healing.  And Theresa has wrapped this all up into her new book, and yes, continued to heal through writing. This is an episode for anyone who has ever lost someone or felt lost themselves, and Theresa offers a profound, gentle invitation to grieve, to love, and to begin again.
