Show notes
Hey, Heal Squad! Kelly Rizzo is back today, and her story about the night her late husband, comedian and Full House icon Bob Saget, passed away continues. If you've ever lost someone you love, or you're trying to support someone who has, this conversation can help understand grief, trauma, and transformation on a deeper level. Kelly shares what happened the night Bob passed away unexpectedly, the phone calls that followed, the moment she received the news, and the surreal reality of waking up the next day in a world that no longer looked the same. She opens up about the small details she still remembers, the severe sore throat she was battling that suddenly disappeared, and the overwhelming realization: "This is my life now."But this conversation isn't just about loss. It's about what happened to Kelly's world after. She talks about the incredible support she received from Bob's family, the Full House cast, and the comedy community, as well as the perspective that completely changed the way she views grief. Rather than focusing on what was taken from her, Kelly shares why she chooses to focus on what she was lucky enough to have. We also get into something so many people are afraid to talk about: what happens when life keeps moving. How do you walk into his closet when he's no longer there? And how do you give yourself permission to love again? Kelly opens up about dating after loss, her relationship with Breckin Meyer, and the realization that helped her make room for both grief and happiness in the same life.Whether you're grieving a spouse, a parent, a friend, or simply navigating a season of profound change, this episode is filled with wisdom, hope, and the reminder that you're not alone.
HEALERS & HEAL LINERS
Grief Changes You—But It Doesn't Have To Define You: Kelly shares that the hardest part wasn't just losing Bob—it was figuring out who she was afterward. Grief may become part of your story, but it doesn't have to become your entire identity.
Focus On What Was Given, Not Just What Was Taken: One of the most powerful lessons Kelly learned after Bob's passing was that perspective matters. When we can shift our focus from what we lost to what we were lucky enough to have, healing becomes possible.
Love Doesn't End When Someone Is Gone: Kelly's journey reminds us that moving forward doesn't mean leaving someone behind. Love can exist in memory, in gratitude, and even alongside new chapters we never thought we'd have the courage to begin.
