In this moving episode of The Resilient Life, host Ryan Manion sits down with Brielle Persun, a young widow navigating life after the sudden loss of her husband, Tyler, earlier this year. With raw honesty and courage, Brielle shares her journey through grief, the challenges of raising her son in the wake of tragedy, and the ways she is discovering resilience in the hardest season of her life.

She opens up about the loneliness of grief, why she chose to speak out and become a voice for other young widows, and the strength she draws from her son and community. Brielle’s story is one of heartbreak—but also of hope. It’s a reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, resilience can light the way forward.
