Episode 63: Grief as a Bridge to Belonging with Laurel O’Sullivan

In this heartfelt episode of The Empowered Grief Journey Podcast, host Chris Mamone welcomes grief educator and guide Laurel O’Sullivan. Once a public interest lawyer, Laurel now dedicates her life to helping others transform deep loss into meaningful connection with themselves, their communities, and life itself.

Laurel shares her profound journey through the sudden deaths of her father, the father of her children, and her beloved 18-year-old son, Patrick, who died by suicide. With raw honesty and deep empathy, she explores how grief can open pathways to resilience, healing, and a more authentic sense of belonging.

Together, Chris and Laurel discuss how honoring grief creates space for transformation and how we can learn to carry loss with love and purpose.
