Jabe's story doesn't erase the darkness that came before his recovery. It shows what can happen when another possibility begins to appear.

From addiction to ministry, fatherhood, and sitting beside others at the end of life, his journey is one of unexpected transformation and grace. ✨

Hear Jabe's story in Episode 4 of The Good-Bye, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Not every goodbye involves death.

Sometimes we grieve the life we thought we'd have.
The person we used to be.
The future we imagined.

These are the stories we rarely tell, but they're often the ones that shape us the most.

Join us as Cole Imperi shares how Shadow Loss Theory is helping people understand grief in a whole new way.

Jabe Largen grew up in Appalachian Virginia, where addiction became part of his life before he was old enough to understand where it could lead.

In Episode 4 of Season 2, Jabe shares his journey through addiction, recovery, faith, and the experiences that eventually led him to become a United Methodist minister. It's an honest conversation about what can emerge when a life that once felt lost begins to take a different shape. 🌿

We talk about resilience like it's something beautiful.

Like you wake up one morning and decide to be strong.

Joe DiMeo's story is different.

Resilience looked like learning to walk again.

Learning to eat again.

Learning to live with a face and hands that weren't his own.

Learning who he was after losing the person he'd been.

Joe survived a crash that burned 80% of his body and ultimately underwent the world's first successful combined face and double hand transplant.

But he doesn't pretend the hard part is over.

In this bonus episode, Joe talks about the parts of resilience we don't always see—the frustration, the grief, the questions, and the daily decision to keep moving forward.

If you've ever had to rebuild a life you didn't plan for, this conversation is for you.

23 hours.

More than 140 doctors and staff.

One extraordinary surgery.

Joe DiMeo became the first person in the world to successfully receive a combined face and double hand transplant.

But before that, there was an 18-year-old who fell asleep behind the wheel.

There was a crash.

Third-degree burns over 80% of his body.

Months in a coma and a burn unit.

And the unimaginable task of learning to walk, eat, and live again.

Joe's story isn't just about a medical miracle.

It's about everything that happens after the miracle.

The grief. The identity questions. The frustration. The discipline. The people who refused to let him give up.

Hear Joe tell his story on this bonus episode of THE GOOD-BYE.

What happens when the face staring back at you isn't the face you remember?

Joe DiMeo lost his face and both hands after a devastating car accident at just 18 years old.

Then, two years later, he underwent a groundbreaking 23-hour surgery involving more than 140 doctors and staff.

A combined face and double hand transplant.

But surviving the accident—and even making medical history—wasn't the hardest part.

The hardest part was figuring out who he was now.

Joe speaks honestly about grieving the person he used to be, adjusting to a new body, and finding a way forward.

This is a story about far more than a transplant.

It's about identity, loss, and learning to live again.
