When one loses a spouse they’ve been with for a long, they lose a piece of themselves. In such cases, the process of grieving involves finding who they are.


In this episode, I am joined by Mike McEnaney, a loving dad of four children. His wife Maureen passed on in 2016, leaving him to raise their four young kids, between 14 and 11 years old. 

He is an avid skier and has been teaching skiing for 30 years. He loves the ocean and can be found swimming, paddleboarding, or surfing. 


Throughout this episode, Mike shares with us how the experience of losing his wife impacted him. He also shares his experience raising his four kids and the lessons he learnt along the way. Additionally, he also talks about the importance of awareness, gratitude, and joy even when going through grief.
