Grief Without Being Defined by It: Finding Gratitude After Losing a Child | Mark Stackpole

In this deeply personal episode of Beyond the Mind, I’m joined by Mark Stackpole, who shares the story of losing his 22-year-old daughter, Corinne, to leukemia after an 11-month battle.

Mark opens up about the shock of her diagnosis, the months his family spent by her side, and the unimaginable experience of losing a child.

But this conversation is also about what comes after loss. Mark shares how he and his family have chosen to find gratitude in the midst of heartbreak, honor Corinne’s life beyond the circumstances of her death, and build a new life without allowing grief to define them.

We talk about grief, family, marriage, finding joy again, supporting people through loss, and what it means to keep someone’s legacy alive.

Corinne’s life may have been shorter than her family hoped, but Mark reminds us that a life can be deeply meaningful regardless of its length.

Every mind has a story—and every story deserves to be heard.
