A proposito di questo titolo

"Life is not a smooth, even journey. Life is a bumpy up-and-down journey. You have your highs and your lows. You have to just hold on to that bumpy road, and you just keep going." —William Quan

Life can break routines, identities, and relationships without warning. Grief changes how days are lived, decisions are made, and meaning is defined. This conversation holds space for the quiet realities that come after loss.

Dr. Kimberly Hubenette sits down with her father, Dr. William Quan, to reflect on his journey through grief after losing his wife of 44 years, his path as an immigrant son turned lifelong dentist, and the choices that helped him survive and continue building a meaningful life.

Press play to hear a raw, generational perspective on grief, resilience, and adaptation, along with practical wisdom shaped by decades of lived experience.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Navigating grief after the loss of a spouse

  • The difference between surviving and tolerating loss

  • Immigration, identity, and resilience across generations

  • The impact of long-term partnership and shared purpose

  • Three paths widows and widowers often face after loss

  • Why purpose, routine, and contribution matter later in life

  • Journaling as a lifelong tool for reflection and grounding

  • Living with memory without being trapped by it
