In this hauntingly raw and unfiltered chapter of Life After Losing You, I take you deep into the darkest month of my grief — the feral days. This wasn’t quiet sadness or gentle heartbreak. This was grief with jagged edges. Rage, desperation, obsession, and collapse. I stopped eating. I stopped functioning. I barely slept. I screamed into pillows, drove aimlessly at night, replayed every moment of our love and loss on a loop that wouldn’t let me go.
This episode captures the chaos of trying to survive when your soul has been ripped out — when the person who felt like your oxygen is gone, and all that’s left is madness and longing. These were the days I became someone I didn’t recognize. And yet… every scream, every panic attack, every breakdown… was love. Wild, feral, unprocessed love.
[Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of grief-related mental health struggles, including suicidal ideation. Please listen with care.]
