Chris and Melissa here, since moving to Hawaii we have had the chance to meet so many amazing people and hear their incredible stories. One couple in particular, who live right down the street from us, Chris and Taylor Pierce, have a story that has blown us away. They have experienced a tremendous amount of grief throughout their marriage. Frankly, a lot more grief than anyone should have to go through in life. Through miscarriages, a lost baby, and just last year the passing of their 8-year-old son, Griff. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s episode, we have a deep and honest conversation about grief and how you can support those who may be going through a difficult time. One of our mottos is “Smith’s show up for people”, but when it comes to loss and grief it’s hard to say what that looks like. We talk about Chris and Taylor’s everlasting courage and their journey navigating loss through difficult pregnancies and miscarriages to the joy of adopting and growing their family. You’ll hear the inspiring story of Griff, a 4-year-old who lived life to the fullest and always wore his heart on his sleeve. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join us as Chris and Taylor speak about their son Griff and how they took every chance they could to strengthen their family and give Griff the best life he could possibly have. You’ll hear their advice on how you can best show up for those who are grieving as well as the different ways that people supported them through their loss. Grieving is a complex process that shows up differently for everyone. Chris and Taylor ta
