What do you do when your world falls apart—but the rest of the world expects you to show up like nothing happened? In this raw and honest episode, Chris and Candi unpack what it’s like to grieve a child in a society that doesn’t understand loss. From tone-deaf comments to unrealistic expectations, we share validation, spicy boundary-setting tips, and the truth grieving parents need to hear: you’re not broken—you’re doing the impossible.

Child loss doesn’t just break your heart—it blows your whole damn life apart. Today, we’re talking about what it really feels like when you realize the old you is gone—and you’re stuck trying to build a new version out of the wreckage. Newsflash: Laughing again? Still grieving. Wanting more out of life? Still grieving. Becoming someone new? Still freaking grieving. You’re not moving on—you’re moving with. Grab your coffee (or your wine)—this one’s raw, real, and a little rebellious.

Grief isn’t a straight line—and it doesn’t care that you’re “supposed” to be okay by now.

In this episode, we’re calling out the pressure to hold it together and exploring what healing really looks like when you’re still crying in Target and canceling plans to survive.

If you’ve ever felt like a mess and wondered if you’re doing this wrong—this one’s for you.
