Grief, Laughter, and Starting Over - Lisa Valentine Clark & Bubba Page

In this episode of Becoming, Bubba Page sits down with actress, writer, and podcast host Lisa Valentine Clark for a tender, funny, and deeply honest conversation about grief, single parenting, faith, and learning to move forward without leaving the past behind. Lisa shares what she has learned as a widow raising five children after losing her husband to ALS, why grief has no timeline, and how she has held onto joy and laughter through it all. Together with Bubba, she talks about showing up for people who are hurting, staying true to yourself, and the freeing idea that we are co-creating our lives with God. They discuss: • Why grief has no timeline, and the image of the ball in the box • The shock of becoming a single parent, no matter how it happens • How to actually support someone who is grieving, without saying "let me know if you need anything" • What real strength looks like when you are heartbroken and exhausted • Choosing a few trusted confidants instead of the whole internet • Being gentle with yourself and simplifying what you think you need to do • Why joy is only found in the present • Looking for the humor, because you find what you are looking for • Seeing people the way Jesus would, and leading with charity • Co-creating a new life with God when the old plan is gone About Lisa Valentine Clark: Lisa Valentine Clark is an actress, writer, and host of The Lisa Show and the Council of Moms podcast.
