In this touching episode of Tendrils of Grief, we sit down with Molly, founder of Birthdays from Beyond, to explore the healing power of preserving love and memories in the face of loss. When Molly’s father was diagnosed with cancer, she was struck by the painful realization that he wouldn't be there to celebrate future birthdays with her. Wanting to hold onto his presence, she gave him a stack of blank cards and asked him to write birthday messages for the years to come.

A Journey of a thousand steps. A widow and widower - where they are now.
In this episode of Tendrils of Grief, we reconnect with Phil Pinti, a Marine Corps Veteran, Federal Government employee of 17 years, and an experienced recreational ultra runner. Phil, a graduate of West Chester University, resides in Ellicott City, Maryland, with his fiancée, Kellie, and their three children. The last time we spoke with Phil in June 2021, we were both in different places—personally and in our grief journeys. Since then, Phil has continued pushing his limits, taking on the grueling 2021 Desert RATS ultra-running endurance event, a six-day stage race covering 150 miles across the Kokopelli Trail from Fruita, Colorado, to Moab, Utah. His journey is featured in the documentary A Long Way From Nowhere, available on the Audacious Report YouTube channel, where runners share the physical and emotional discoveries that come with endurance racing. Join us as Phil reflects on his experiences with grief, resilience, and the life lessons he's gained through pushing his physical and mental limits in one of the most extreme endurance events in the world.
