Listen "EPISODE 194 – Transforming Grief"
Episode Synopsis
How do you find hope after loss?
When Carisa and Neville Britton lost their daughter Jessica, their world was forever changed. Through their grief, they found strength in each other — and a way to honour Jessica’s life by giving back to their community.
With support from Edmonton Community Foundation, the Brittons established the Jessica Carisa Britton Fund — an endowment that will provide comfort, support, and opportunity for families and children for generations to come.
In this episode, Lisa Ostrowski from Odvod Media sits down with Carisa and Neville to share their story — a story about love, resilience, and how the act of giving can help transform loss into legacy.
