In this episode of Journey Unscripted, Amanda Andrade sits down with Wade Lee Richards, educator and gardener, to share a love story that didn’t end with death — it simply changed form.

After losing his husband, Wade found himself navigating profound grief layered with religion, identity, shame, and belonging. Raised in an environment where he was taught that God rejected who he was, Wade had to rebuild not only his faith, but his relationship with himself.

It was through the soil, the plants, and the daily practice of caring for life that he discovered something unexpected: healing.

In this honest and tender conversation, we explore:

• how grief reshapes our relationship with love
• the quiet impact of religious trauma on queer identity
• the role of vulnerability and community in healing
• nature as a powerful tool for emotional regulation
• why true love never disappears — it transforms

This episode is not about loss.
It’s about continuing to love, even after deep pain.
It’s about choosing authenticity, even when you were told you were wrong.

🌿 If you’ve ever questioned your faith, your identity, or your capacity to love after loss, this episode is for you.
