The Grief of Absence with Casie Williams

In this heartfelt episode, Angel sits down with Casie Williams for an honest conversation about a form of grief many people experience but rarely talk about — grieving the family you imagined. Casie opens up about raising her son as a single mom, navigating inconsistent co-parenting, and learning to release the expectations she once held for her home and her future.

Together, they explore what it means to parent through disappointment, support a child processing absence, and find strength through faith, community, and honest conversations. Casie also shares how scriptures like Philippians 4:6, journaling, and her growing openness to therapy help her navigate anxiety and healing.

This episode is a reminder that your story does not have to match society’s picture of a “perfect home” to be full of love, resilience, and grace.
