Can you find the courage to love again when you know exactly how much loss can hurt?

Dr Kim Morgan-Short shares a remarkable story of love, loss, resilience, and hope. A military doctor, mother of five, and widow twice over, Kim has experienced profound grief – first losing her husband "Shorty" in a plane crash, and years later losing her second husband Stewart to cancer.

Yet despite the heartbreak she has endured, Kim continues to believe in the possibility of love. Her journey has taken her from solo parenting and rebuilding after loss to stepping back into the dating world, even appearing on national TV in search of companionship.

This is an episode about courage, second chances, and the extraordinary capacity of the human heart to keep loving after loss.

Together, Caroline and Kim chat about:
  • Life in the military and the family she built with Shorty
  • Navigating sudden loss and solo parenting three young children
  • Finding love again after widowhood
  • Experiencing grief a second time and what it taught her
  • Taking a chance on love through The Golden Bachelor
  • Why hope, joy, and companionship remain possible after profound loss


Quote that resonates with Kim “It is all about love, actually. Grief is just love with nowhere to go”
