Breathing After You is a podcast about survival after loss. After my son died, breathing was no longer something my body did without effort. Every inhale felt intentional. Every day felt like something I had to endure rather than live. This podcast exists for that space — the days after the hospital, after the casseroles stop, after the world moves on, when staying alive feels like the hardest thing you’ve ever done. This is a place for mothers and parents living with loss to come and feel understood, without having to explain themselves. A place to hear words that sound like your own thoughts, to sit with someone who isn’t afraid of the silence, and to feel supported simply by not being alone in it. There are no lessons here, no timelines, and no pressure to heal. Only honesty, remembrance, and companionship for those learning how to breathe again. If you are surviving one breath at a time, you are welcome here.

    This Is Me Trying

    What does “trying” look like after losing a child? In this episode of Breathing After You, I talk about living with grief and PTSD, feeling like an open wound, and the quiet, exhausting reality of continuing on. If you’re still here… still breathing… still trying—this one’s for you.

    Learning to Breathe again: Introduction

    This is the first episode of Breathing After You —a podcast I never imagined I’d have to create. After losing my son, I learned that survival doesn’t look like strength. Sometimes it just looks like breathing. In this episode, I’m sharing who I am, why this podcast exists, and what you can expect here. If you’ve experienced loss, love someone who has, or feel like you’re just trying to make it through the day… you’re in the right place. You don’t have to have the right words here. You just have to show up.

    Please Don't Disappear: Showing Up for Someone in Grief

    People don't mean to disappear... but they do. Not because they don't care, but because they don't know what to say. In this episode, I'm talking about what grieving people actually feel, what helps, what hurts, and how you support someone you love without feeling like you're doing it wrong. Because the truth is-- They don't need you to fix it. They just need you not to leave. If you're grieving and wanting something to relate to, or you're someone trying to support a grieving loved one... you're safe here.
