Send us a message! We love hearing from our listeners.
In this deeply moving episode, Angela shares her harrowing experience of losing her husband unexpectedly after a mere 19 days from a sudden cancer diagnosis. She recounts the shock of taking him to the hospital for what they thought was appendicitis, only to face a rapid decline and his subsequent passing.
Angela talks about the whirlwind of emotions she endured, the immediate need to provide stability for her two young children, and the challenge of grieving while maintaining her role as a project manager. She delves into the importance of therapy, the invaluable support from her community, and the struggle of making swift end-of-life decisions.
The conversation explores Angela's journey through grief, the identity crisis that followed, and her introspective path to personal growth. Listen to Angela's story and gain insight into the resilience required to navigate such profound loss and the ongoing efforts to keep her husband's memory alive for her children.
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.
