A Companion in the Dark

Grief Left Behind is a raw, honest podcast for parents navigating life after the unimaginable—the loss of a child to suicide. Created by Kalah Ballance in honor of her 12-year-old son, Eli, this space is for grieving families, compassionate friends, and anyone who dares to sit in the darkness and speak the truth of child loss.

This isn’t a place for toxic positivity or easy answers. It’s a place for truth-telling, name-speaking, and soul-aching honesty. Each episode explores the real and often unspoken realities of grief—sibling sorrow, birthdays that hurt, organ donation, faith, anger, advocacy, and what it means to carry love forward in a world that no longer makes sense.

If you’ve lost a child or love someone who has, you are not alone. Here, your story matters. Your child matters. And your voice is always welcome.
