What happens when the person you planned to spend forever with is suddenly gone—but goodbye wasn’t the end?
In this deeply personal episode of Game On Glio, actress Laura Orrico (Kevin Can Wait, The King of Queens) shares her extraordinary journey through grief after losing her spouse and learning how to navigate life after the death of her husband. She opens up about the parts of grief no one prepares you for, including the complicated emotions that come with beginning to imagine a future you never expected to have.
Laura also talks candidly about dating after loss—what it felt like to open herself up to the possibility of love again all while trying to make a dream she had long held a reality.
Then, at 49 years old, her story takes an unexpected turn that has brought her love full circle.
Today, Laura is living a life shaped by profound loss, unexpected love, motherhood, and resilience. She shares where she is now—and what she has learned about rebuilding a life.
Because sometimes goodbye isn’t the end. Sometimes love finds a way to write another chapter.
