Have you ever had to experience
tragic loss in your life? đź’”Or have had a loved one who is
grieving? If so, you are going to love this new podcast we put up
today.
I
had the privilege of bringing Jodi Coochise onto my podcast today,
and her story made me tear up, smile, and get goosebumps... all at
the same time.
When Jodi was 27 years old, she was hiking Mt.
Kilimanjaro in Africa with her husband. It was something they
trained for an entire year and was a bucket list adventure they had
always wanted to do. As they were climbing the mountain, there was
a major rock slide and Jodi’s husband was hit by the rocks and
instantly died.
In our podcast today, she tells the story of
what was going through her mind in the moment, how she still had to
hike down the mountain to get aid, what the grieving process was
like for her then and now, how she was able to eventually move on
and find her current husband, things she did at the time that
helped, tips for others who may have a friend or family member
experiencing grief, and how she still honors her late husband to
this day.
This was SUCH a beautiful story and it was such
an honor to have Jodi on the podcast. I really know you guys
are going to love this one, and I am so grateful that Jodi really
“pulled back the curtain” and shared the real, raw parts of her
story.
