Full Cup Club Podcast - Getting Back Up After Getting Knocked Down With Grief artwork

We are two friends, Christina and Meghan, who met by chance on Instagram and now we talk about all things grief and loss (with some humor thrown in). We both lost our husbands and now we are boldly living life in the wake of loss, choosing joy and overcoming the tough stuff. Grief is something we carry and we aim to not let it weigh us down, but instead, grow with it. Cheers!
