    We know you mean well but STOP

    People usually mean well when they try to comfort someone who is grieving, but sometimes the things they say hurt more than they help. In this episode, I talk honestly about the phrases I wish people would stop saying, like "everything happens for a reason," "God needed him more," "at least you had 18 years," "stay strong," and "he wouldn't want you to be sad." I know most people aren't trying to cause pain, but losing my only son isn't something that can be explained away or made easier with a familiar saying. This episode isn't about blaming anyone. It's about helping people understand what grief actually feels like from the inside and reminding other grieving parents that they're not wrong for being hurt by words that were meant to comfort them.

    When Your Mind Goes Blank

    Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation and suddenly felt like your brain just shut off? Since losing Tay, I've noticed that sometimes I can be talking to someone, listening to what they're saying, and still struggle to find the words to respond. My mind goes blank, I lose my train of thought, or I walk away wondering if I came across like I wasn't interested or wasn't paying attention. In this episode of The Part You Don't See, I talk about how grief and trauma have affected the way I communicate, the frustration of not always being able to say what I'm thinking, and the guilt that can come afterward when I replay conversations in my head. It's one of those changes that other people may never notice, but you feel it every single time. If you've ever felt quieter, more distracted, forgetful, or just different in conversations after experiencing loss or trauma, you're not alone in that experience. Real talk. Real life. Real feelings.   Email: thepartyoudontsee@yahoo.com

    When You Look Happy

    Episode 2: Even on the Good Days Grief doesn't disappear just because you're having a good day. In this episode of The Part You Don't See, I talk about one of those days where I was genuinely having fun, surrounded by people I love, laughing, enjoying the moment, and still carrying Tay with me through all of it. I share what it's like when grief shows up right in the middle of happiness, how quickly one thought or memory can change the feeling of a moment, and why having a good day doesn't mean you're "moving on" or missing them any less. Sometimes happiness and heartbreak exist in the exact same place. That's one of the parts people don't always see. Real talk. Real life. Real feelings.   Email Me : thepartyoudontsee@yahoo.com Every Wednesday and Saturday will be a new Episode.

    Yes, I Have A Son

    Episode 1: Yes, I Have a Son "Do you have kids?" sounds like such a simple question. For me, the answer is easy: yes, I have a son. His name is Tay. What comes after that answer is the hard part. The follow-up questions. How old is he? What is he doing now? And then having to decide how to explain that my son died at 18. In the first episode of The Part You Don't See, I talk about what those ordinary conversations feel like after losing my only child, why I will always answer that I have a son, and the invisible weight that can sit underneath a moment that looks completely normal from the outside. This podcast is about those moments. The conversations we keep inside. The things people may never realize we're carrying. Real talk. Real life. Real feelings. Email: thepartyoudontsee@yahoo.com I will post Every Wednesday and Saturday and sometimes when needed will add or change schedule later.
