Can You Love Again Without Letting Go? The story of Sarah & Shua

Stories Of Hope With Tzipora Grodko

Sarah and Shua Lefkowitz share a story unlike any other on Stories of Hope, one that begins in profound loss and unfolds into a marriage built on what Shua calls expansive love. Sarah spent ten years navigating dating with an unshakeable sense of certainty about where her life was headed, telling friends and family about a very specific vision for her future husband years before she ever crossed paths with him. Shua, meanwhile, walked through the hardest chapter of his life after losing his first wife, learning along the way what it looks like to hold grief and joy in the same hand.

Together they open up about blending two families, honoring a beloved memory while building something entirely new, and the surrender it takes to trust that the life you actually have, even one that looks nothing like what you planned, might be exactly the one you were meant for. For anyone who has ever wondered if they missed their window, or whether their story just doesn't fit the mold, this conversation offers a different way to think about waiting, loss, and hope.
