Welcome back to Milkweed and Monarchs! I’m your host, Dawn Klem, and today, I want to talk about closure—the kind that comes unexpectedly, through difficult conversations, through loss, and sometimes, even in ways we can’t explain.

There are moments in life that change us forever. Moments that push us to our limits, that test our strength, and that make us question what we thought we knew. For me, one of those moments happened late one stormy night in Maine, in a quiet house filled with love, fear, and the profound weight of saying goodbye.

This episode is more than just a story—it’s about the lessons we take with us, the impact we leave on others, and the understanding that sometimes, the most meaningful endings come with a powerful beginning.

Let’s dive in.
