Jack was just 14 when his older sister died at 20. They both lived with cystic fibrosis.

Growing older than his sister ever got to be forced Jack to confront grief, mortality, and what it means to build a future after losing someone so young.

In this conversation, he reflects on how grief evolves over time from the shock of loss to the quieter ways it shapes your identity, your empathy, and your outlook on life.

He speaks about survivor’s guilt, struggling to imagine a future for himself, and the difficult shift from simply surviving for others to actively choosing to heal.

This is a conversation about loss. But it’s also about what happens after and how grief can reshape the way we live.
