Description

Jake’s birthday is coming, and it still hurts just as much as it did that first year. In this solo episode, Heather opens up about what it really feels like to face another year without her son—the lead-up, the dread, the heartbreak that anniversaries bring when someone you love is gone.


She shares how grief shows up in waves, especially on the dates that once meant celebration. If you’ve lost someone and find yourself holding your breath around birthdays or milestones, this is a space where you’ll feel seen.
