Geology of the Heart
/How do you honor a loved one while also moving on?
“I really did feel kind of obsessed with keeping his memory alive.”
— Jess Nelson
When we lose a loved one, we often experience competing emotions and urges. On the one hand, we cling desperately to memories and mementos; on the other hand, we strive to “move on.”
Balancing the two can be tough.
On this episode, journalist Matthew Schneeman brings us the story of a fatal accident, and of one woman’s efforts to preserve the memories of her fiancee.
It’s a story that takes us from the Grand Canyon to Yellowstone, and explores what it takes to remember someone, while still moving forward.
