How did your love story begin?

We met through the sacred work of after-death care-two last responders brought together by a 2AM call on the infamous Road to Hana in Maui. Stranded by a fallen tree for over 6 hours with the deceased in the back, we shared deep conversation, similar humor, & a bond that felt instantly familiar. From loss, love emerged—a connection rooted in reverence, laughter, & a sense that we’d known each other forever.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

The night I fell in love with him-we went to a call where a husband had drowned. Officers stood frozen as his wife sobbed alone on a bench. Joss sat beside her, wrapped her in his arms, & held her as she wept. Later, upon request a chaplain prayed, I stood among officers, heads bowed, watching Joss still holding her. That sacred circle of grief, love, and presence changed me. I saw his heart, and I knew.

What would you do with $20,000?

We’d launch a grief-informed food truck: “Good Grief Grub”-serving soulful comfort food to nourish hearts in pain. Part mobile kitchen, part healing space, it would blend our backgrounds in death care & culinary service, providing meals & moments of meaning for those navigating loss, recovery, or simply needing comfort.
