In this episode of the "Yo Pude, Tú Puedes" podcast, hosts Margarita Pasos and Sophie Pasos interview Venezuelan journalist and former CNN anchor Mariale Requena. Mariale recounts the night her husband Ismael suffered a massive stroke while she was reporting live in Lima, Peru, and the frantic minutes when her teenage children, Miranda (18) and Andrés (21), tried to save him. She describes the 12‑hour flight back to Miami, the shock, denial, anger, and deep depression that followed, and how she eventually forced herself to work, pay bills, and care for her children despite feeling lifeless. The conversation moves through the classic stages of grief, the concept of post‑traumatic growth, and Mariale’s personal framework of three types of learners: those who learn from information, those who learn from painful experience, and those who never learn. She shares concrete advice on what NOT to say to someone grieving, the importance of saying "I love you" even when feelings are conflicted, and the role of faith and spiritual questioning. Mariale explains how she turned her pain into a therapeutic process: she sought therapy for herself and her children, wrote the book "Elijo Ser Feliz" and an audiobook "Aprender a vivir a pesar del duelo", and launched the podcast "El Hijo Ser Feliz" to help others navigate loss. Throughout, she emphasizes that grief never fully disappears; instead, one learns to live with it, grow from it, and choose happiness despite the lingering pain. Additional themes in this second half include organ donation as a purposeful legacy, converting grief into advocacy, a retreat in Mexico where she confronted her husband’s death, practiced forgiveness, and visualized cutting a symbolic cord, and her ongoing spiritual gratitude and openness to new love. She stresses that choosing happiness is a daily decision, that self‑compassion and purposeful action are essential for healing, and that sharing one’s story can help countless others.
