The P-I-G: Episode 08
Perspective, Impact, Grace: How Hope Became a Family Mission
What happens when life takes more than you ever thought you could bear—and you still find a way to move forward with compassion, intention, and grace? In this profoundly moving episode of The P-I-G, we sit down with Diane Herman, a devoted wife, mother, retired educator, and cherished family friend. Diane’s story is more than a story of grief. It’s a story of staying. Of serving. Of finding light even when you’ve lost so much…
Diane shares her story of unimaginable loss—the deaths of her beloved husband, Travis, and their daughters Hope and Isabelle—and how, through her grief, she continues to serve, support, and uplift others. This episode is a testimony to the resilience of the human spirit—and a reminder that grace can carry us when nothing else can.
