In this first episode of Grieving Son, Stephen shares the day that split his life in two — the loss of his mother, the shock, and the long journey toward healing.

This isn’t a story about endings. It’s about love that endures, grief that shapes us, and learning how to keep going when the world stands still.

Grieving Son: The Podcast ❤️‍🩹

A story about the first time I truly understood loss.

When I was ten years old, my dad and I were in a car accident while moving across the country. That day changed everything, not just because I lost him, but because it was the first time I realized that people could leave and never come back.

In this episode, I talk about what it was like to navigate grief as a child without the language to describe it, surrounded by adults who didn’t know what to say. I share how fear crept in, how silence shaped my understanding of loss, and what I’ve learned since about how grief lives in the body long after the moment passes.

In this episode:

• The day everything changed
• How grief first shows up in childhood
• The fear that follows loss
• Finding language and peace decades later

If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who might need to hear it. And if you’re navigating your own grief, know that you’re not alone, and that healing, in your own way and time, is possible.
