Losing Everything And Finding Yourself in the Aftermath

Matt Labozetta

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. It doesn’t have neat endings or clear instructions on how to survive it. It comes in waves—some you see coming, others that knock you off your feet.

Veronica Arrieta knows this all too well. In just a few years, she faced postpartum depression, the unimaginable reality of her child’s cancer diagnosis, a miscarriage, and the slow, heartbreaking loss of her father. Each moment tested her in ways she never thought possible.

But this isn’t just a story about loss—it’s a story about transformation in the wreckage. Grief didn’t just break Veronica; it stripped away who she thought she was, forcing her to confront the parts of herself that had been built on the voices of others. She learned what it meant to carry pain without letting it define her, how to hold onto love even after loss, and why the hardest moments in life often reveal the deepest strength within us.

How do you keep going when life keeps taking? How do you rebuild when the person who always cheered for you is gone?

This conversation is raw, real, and deeply human. If you’re navigating your own grief, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
