Getting Back Up: Finding Life After Death (Season 1)
Episode 6: Til Death Do Us Part
In this episode, we talk about the final days—what we remember, how we coped, and the moments that made us laugh and cry. Honest, raw, and full of love. This episode starts to tease the questions, "Is she really gone?" and "What the hell do I do next?"
Getting Back Up: Finding Life After Death is a podcast that explores the raw, unfiltered reality of surviving profound personal loss—and finding a way forward. The idea for the podcast was born after David and Jamal met in 2023. Both widowers, who had lost their wives to cancer, quickly found a deep connection through multiple conversations about pain, perseverance, and parenthood. They realized that while men often bond over music, sports, or TV, they rarely speak candidly about loss or emotional recovery. Getting Back Up was created to change that narrative—blending the everyday with the existential in a format that’s as relatable as it is real.
