#104 Graceful Hosting and Helping in the Wake of Loss
This episode of the Happy Hostess Podcast is a tender and meaningful conversation with Lisa Cleary, a founding member of the Happy Cookbook Party. Lisa recently lost her father and chose to host the reception following his funeral—a decision that brought comfort, connection, and even healing. She shares the practical steps she took, what helped her most, and how hospitality became a way to honor her father’s life. We also talk about how to support a grieving friend in thoughtful, genuine ways. Lisa’s story is full of heart, wisdom and practical ways to support anyone navigating loss and grief.
