As Long As I'm Living is a podcast about life, love, and laughter after infant loss. Judith and Alina are rebuilding Happier Ever After one day at a time despite excruciating grief and trauma and offering support to grievers of all flavors, but especially those who have lost a baby to SIDS, infant death, birth accidents, stillbirth, TFMR, ectopic pregnancy, or miscarriage.

After two bummer episodes, Judith and Alina talk about the couple of things in their lives that they can -- occasionally -- feel hopeful about.

Note: This is an episode that has some discussion of Judith's current pregnancy. We will warn you when it starts; please feel free to skip ahead a few minutes if it is too much for you. WE GET IT.

Judith and Alina thought they were in the Happily Ever After phase of life, until their sons died, and suddenly, they weren't. They were thrown together by the internet to navigate life after loss, laughing until they cry and crying until they laugh. They are very much at the bottom of a hole right now, the beginning of their story. Listen to them share about their supremely terrible year (they *wish* it was just their babies dying...) and speculate about what their Happier Ever After might look like, since Happily Ever After is out of the question.
