Send us a message! We love hearing from our listeners.

Welcome back to The Day After, the podcast where we explore stories of grief, resilience, and finding hope in the aftermath of loss. Today, we have a very special guest joining us, Kelly. Kelly has experienced the profound heartbreak of losing her oldest brother to glioblastoma, a devastating form of brain cancer.

In this episode, Kelly opens up about the difficult decisions her family had to make regarding her brother's treatment, the emotional toll it took on their family, and the incredible strength and determination they found to fight through it all. We'll also learn about the organization Kelly and her family created called StacheStrong --  A 501(c)3 non-profit devoted to raising funds and awareness for brain cancer research

Join us as Kelly shares the challenges and triumphs of building StacheStrong, caring for her brother, and finding hope amidst the darkest of days. And as always, we encourage you to show your support for our show and our guest by subscribing, rating and reviewing wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Get ready for an episode filled with powerful stories, raw emotions, and the resilience of the human spirit. 

A personal note from the hosts: After much reflection, we've decided that this season of "The Day After" will be our final one. It has been a profound honor to share this journey through grief with all of you. As CJ steps back to focus on other ventures, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your support, your stories, and your willingness to navigate these difficult conversations alongside us. Though the podcast is ending, we hope the conversations about grief and loss continue, and that our episodes remain a resource for those who need them. If you've found comfort in our discussions, Ashley and Liz will continue Sit, Lay, Rest - our pet grief podcast - you can follow them on Instagram at @sitlayrest. Thank you for being part of our community.
