Episode 5: The Day After: What Helped Me Survive the Unthinkable

What do you actually do the day after your person dies?

In this raw and deeply honest episode, I share what it was like waking up the morning after my husband Sheldon passed away suddenly while we were on a cruise with our four kids. From navigating the chaos of disembarkation to an unexplainable moment of grace outside the port, this is the story of surviving what I thought would destroy me.

You'll hear how a random encounter gave me peace, how a friend helped me breathe again (literally), and the one piece of advice a therapist gave me that I still hold onto today.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered:

• How do you keep going when your world shatters?

• What do you say to someone going through deep grief?

• How do you show up for your kids when you’re barely holding on yourself?

Whether you’ve faced death, divorce, disappointment, or diagnosis—this space is for you. I’m not offering quick fixes. Just honest stories and spoken hope.

Because sometimes healing starts with one deep breath—and someone simply saying, “I see you.”

With you in the hard and the healing,
— Sarah
