Breathing After You

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.
