In this deeply moving episode of "Reflect Live Podcast," hosted by Michelle Nelson, guest Kyle Jestsel shares the emotional journey he has navigated following the tragic loss of his wife, Shelly, to COVID-19. Kyle, who was married to Shelly for 30 years, describes their relationship as one of the top 1% of happy marriages, filled with love, challenges, and the joys of raising six children, including a son with severe autism.
Kyle discusses the profound impact of Shelly's sudden illness and subsequent death during the pandemic, which left him and his children devastated but determined not to let their family's happiness disintegrate. To cope with his grief and to support his children, Kyle penned a book titled "Facing My Biggest Fear: 180 Days of Surviving after the Death of My Beloved Shelly." This book not only documents his grief process but also serves as a guide for rearing his children in the face of such a significant loss.
Kyle opens up about the sudden illness that took Shelly's life during the pandemic and the devastating impact it had on him and their children. He talks about his struggle with COVID-19, his near-death experience, and his determination to maintain a strong front for his family. Kyle also delves into the therapeutic process of writing his book, "Facing My Biggest Fear: 180 Days of Surviving after the Death of My Beloved Shelly," which documents his journey through grief and his strategies for coping and finding joy in life again.
