Hey guys! Chris and Melissa here, since moving to Hawaii we have had the chance to meet so many amazing people and hear their incredible stories. One couple in particular, who live right down the street from us, Chris and Taylor Pierce, have a story that has been particularly impactful. They have experienced a tremendous amount of loss and grief throughout their marriage. Frankly, a lot more grief than anyone should have to go through in life. Through miscarriages, a lost baby, and just last year the passing of their 8-year-old son, Griff.
In today’s episode, we have a deep and honest conversation about grief and how you can support those who may be going through a difficult time. One of our mottos is “Smith’s show up for people”, but when it comes to loss and grief it’s hard to say what that looks like. We loved learning how to better do that from the Pierces! Join us as we discuss Chris and Taylor’s everlasting courage and their journey navigating loss through difficult pregnancies and miscarriages to the joy of adopting and growing their family. You’ll hear the inspiring story of Griff, an 8-year-old who lived life to the fullest and always wore his heart on his sleeve.
You’ll hear their advice on how you can best show up for those who are grieving as well as the different ways that people supported them through their loss. Grieving is a complex process that shows up differently for everyone, and Chris and Taylor talk about how they work through this together as a team, and a family. They share many specific ideas, including how one of the most impactful things you can do is listen.
We are so thankful and honored that Chris and Taylor were willing to tell us their story and we are so inspired by the bright and lasting legacy of light who is Griff. Our hope for today’s episode is that you are able to better support the ones you love through any grieving process.
