In this episode I talk to Alison and David, who both lost their spouses to ALS, then found each other and show how it's possible to find love again.


Here I chat with Alison Burell and David Stanley, who each lost the love of their life way too early. Alison's husband Cory Burell, passed away from ALS at the age of 35 after a valiant fight with familial ALS. David's wife Angela Stanley, died from ALS at a young 50 years old. Through the ALS community, Alison and David met after they each lost their person. Without even searching for love, their friendship grew and love found them. Now they are building a new life together and sharing their journey through their new podcast, "I Lost My Person." Through the podcast, they chat about widowhood, juggling family responsibilities, a long distance relationship and how they are chasing joy. Their primary theme in their episodes illustrate how it's possible to find love after loss and keep the person you've lost in your life as well. It's heartwarming to see how love is working through these two. I hope you'll listen in and share with a friend..

Hugs, Lorri
