Holly Caron: Grief Has No Timeline
Wednesday, 11 February, 2026
For any parent listening to this podcast who worries that time hasn’t ‘fixed’ their grief—this conversation is proof that there is no timeline we need to meet. Eighteen years after losing her daughter Heather to brain cancer, Holly Caron shows us what enduring love looks like—quiet, honest, and deeply present. This conversation affirms what so many families live but rarely hear acknowledged: Grief has no expiration date. Love does not fade with time—and neither does the bond between a mother and her child.Resources cited in this podcast:Hospice Volunteers of Waterville Area: https://www.hvwa.org/The Center for Grieving Children: https://www.cgcmaine.org/What did you think?
