About this listen

In this episode Judy Stewart shares the heartbreaking story of losing her beloved older brother Kurt as a child, the lasting impact of that loss on her family, and the unexpected path it set her on. She recalls small-town community support, becoming deaf after childhood illnesses, and how grief shaped her identity.

Judy also reflects on building a life of purpose — as a teacher, lawyer, mayor, and author — and offers a message of hope and resilience for children and families coping with loss. She reads from her book Lady Slipper and invites listeners to remember, grieve, and carry loved ones forward.
