Chapter 18: True love never dies with Sage Robinson

In chapter eighteen, we talk with Sage Robinson, co-founder of Nobody Plans on Dying. Sage shares her profound journey of love and loss, recounting the vibrant life of her late husband, Danny, whose spirit continues to resonate within her. The chapter elucidates the complexities of grief, exploring not only the overwhelming pain of loss but also the transformative power of surrendering to that pain. Through her experiences, Sage articulates the notion that grief can serve as a conduit for healing and connection, illuminating the path toward purpose and advocacy in the face of tragedy. As we traverse this emotional landscape, we are reminded of the enduring impact of love and the importance of honoring those we have lost.

About the Podcast

The Upside to Grief
Grief Podcast
Is there an upside to grief?

Your host Story created this podcast to explore just that.

On The Upside to Grief podcast, Story and her guests will share their personal stories with grief and how it can be a transformative force. Story will have one-on-one conversations with guests about the language around grief, redefining society’s views, and breaking cultural norms around grief. Quirky segments discussing other aspects intertwined with the grieving process such as; "Grief in the Wild", "Moments of Knowing", and "Questionable Grief Decisions" aka QGD's will follow each guest’s chapter.

Story doesn't tip toe around the subject and shares unapologetically about her views and opinions. In order to create a positive change and still acknowledge that grief just straight up sucks, we need to start normalizing having these uncomfortable conversations.

Story invite's you to join her on this deeply personal and supportive journey as we all explore the transformative power of navigating loss.
