What happens when parents grieve not only the loss of a son-in-law, but also the heartbreak of watching their daughter’s world shatter?

Emily sits down with her mom and dad—Terry and Gary—for an intimate, multi-layered conversation marking five years since the loss of her husband, Colby Cave.

With a mix of childhood stories, cherished Colby memories, and raw reflections on navigating tragedy during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, this episode offers a rare look at grief through the eyes of parents.

From hilarious tales of toddler Emily wallpapering her own room to the harrowing moments surrounding Colby’s hospitalization, they share how love, legacy, and faith have carried their family through unspeakable loss.
