Disch for a heartfelt conversation about love, loss, and what it truly means to live with grief rather than “move on” from it. Through the lens of her powerful memoir, Losing Katy: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Living Grief, Jackie shares the story of her beloved wife Katy, the journey through illness and loss, and the evolving relationship she now holds with memory, love, and presence. Together, they explore how grief is not something to solve, but something to carry. How love does not end. And how storytelling can become both survival and connection. This conversation is tender, honest, and ultimately hopeful. It invites us to rethink what it means to heal, to remember, and to continue living while holding the people we love. A beautiful reminder that grief is not the opposite of love. It is love that continues. #loveislove #grief #podcast #author #livingoutloud ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/living-out-loud-podcast-6581694/episodes/jackie-disch/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/living-out-loud-podcast-6581694/jackie-disch.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
