Transforming Tragedy into Triumph - The Story Behind The Bradley Center

In our premiere episode, we sit down with Carrie Moore and Janice Taylor, the founders of The Bradley Center for Grieving Children and Families. Born from unimaginable loss, their story is one of courage, compassion, and a shared commitment to helping others find healing after the death of a loved one.

Carrie and Janice open their hearts as they recount the tragic 1996 Coca-Cola corporate plane crash that took the lives of their husbands. In the midst of their grief, they found each other — and ultimately found purpose. Together, they transformed their sorrow into a mission to support grieving children, teens, and families through peer-based, interfaith grief support.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The deeply personal journey that inspired The Bradley Center

• How faith, community, and shared experience shaped its mission

• Why supporting grieving children is essential — and how it changes lives

• Powerful stories of hope from families who have found healing within the center’s walls

• How tragedy was transformed into a vision of interfaith acceptance, connection, and triumph

We also explore why 1 in 7 children will experience the death of a parent or sibling before age 20 — and how early, compassionate support can prevent lifelong emotional wounds.

Carrie and Janice close by sharing a moving reflection on a moment when grief and grace met in their lives, offering comfort and insight for anyone navigating their own loss.

Whether you are grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking stories of resilience and hope, this episode will uplift, strengthen, and remind you that none of us walk this path alone.
