How do you lose the love of your life & Keep Going | Donielle Young Living Proof

1h 2m | Jul 21, 2026

In this powerful episode of the Living Proof Podcast, Donielle Young—also known as The Grief Disruptor—opens up about losing her husband of 16 years to stage four colon cancer and rebuilding her life after unimaginable loss.

Donielle shares how childhood abandonment, family trauma, therapy, marriage, widowhood, and faith shaped the woman she is today. She also breaks down her G3 Framework: moving through the grief, developing the grit, and reaching the glow-up.

This conversation explores:

• Breaking free from unhealthy family dynamics

• Preparing yourself for a healthy marriage

• Grieving while still working, parenting, dating, and living

• Understanding the identity shift that comes with loss

• Auditing your environment and protecting your energy

• Allowing grief and joy to exist at the same time

• Turning pain into purpose and helping others heal

Whether you are grieving a loved one, a relationship, an old identity, or the life you thought you would have, this episode is a reminder that you are still here—and God is not finished with you yet.
