Mark Legge: Living with Loss and Finding Meaning

life's too short

Show Notes

In this episode of Life’s Too Short, I’m joined by Mark Legge, who shares his story of love, loss, and how grief continues to shape his life.

We talk about fatherhood, the way grief changes how you see yourself, and the difficult truths you only discover when the life you imagined disappears. Mark’s honesty is both raw and grounding - a reminder that there is no one way to grieve, and no timeline for how it unfolds.

Mark is also the founder of The Solace, a grief community that offers space, resources, and connection for those living with loss. His work is a continuation of his own journey, helping others find comfort and meaning in the aftermath of loss.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to live with grief and still find purpose, this conversation is for you.
