What happens when the most ordinary morning becomes the one you never forget?
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, our guest shares the story of the day everything changed—starting with an unusual wave from her mother at the window. What followed was a slow unraveling of reality: a strange school day, a nervous car ride, and the moment she learned her mother had died by suicide.
Through vivid memory and raw honesty, she reflects on how grief was handled in a different era—where silence was common, emotions were suppressed, and medication often replaced conversation. Her story offers a rare, unfiltered look at childhood loss, the confusion that follows, and how those early moments shape a lifetime.
This episode is for anyone who has experienced unexpected loss, struggled with unspoken grief, or wondered how to support others through the unimaginable.
