Life’s Curveballs: The Unimaginable Loss of a Spouse — and the Strength to Rebuild
In this deeply moving episode of InShock’s Life’s Curveballs series, host Teresa Baglietto sits down with her dear friend Anne-Marie, who shares her powerful story of resilience after the sudden loss of her husband, Alexander, in a ski accident.
Left with two children (ages 12 and 16) and an unfinished home Alexander had been building, Anne-Marie faced not only overwhelming grief but also the challenge of rebuilding life from the ground up.
Together, we talk about:
💛 Supporting children through grief — including her son’s transformative experience at Comfort Zone Camp, a program that helped him step back from the brink of suicide.
💛 Why grief counseling for kids matters, even when they resist.
💛 Keeping a loved one’s memory alive — how Anne-Marie continues to honor Alexander’s presence at home.
💛 The beauty of organ donation — including a touching story about a recipient who developed an unexpected passion for home remodeling after receiving Alexander’s liver.
💛 Why grief isn’t linear — and how we build the strength to carry it.
💛 The healing power of practical support — from friends, community, and her employer, IBM, who granted a three-year leave that allowed space for real healing.
