What happens when life presses reset without warning?

In this deeply personal episode of Dear Cassie, I share what it was like to lose my mom at just 10 years old — the shock of waking up to a new reality I never asked for, the fear of starting over, and the quiet strength it took to keep moving forward. From the first fuzzy days after her passing, to leaving behind my childhood home, to finding myself in survival mode, this episode is a reflection on how grief resets our lives in ways we never wanted — and how we learn to live again.

If you’ve ever faced a reset moment — through loss, change, or heartbreak — I pray you hear pieces of your story in mine and know that you are not alone.

When death comes knocking, it opens a door we never asked to walk through. In this episode of Dear Cassie, I reflect on the loss of my mother and the unspoken realities of grief—the messy emotions of anger, guilt, confusion, numbness, and sadness that come in waves.

I share how death can reshape you, gave me a voice I didn’t know I had, and changed the way I connect with others. Nearly 28 years later, I’m still healing, still finding meaning, and still keeping her memory alive.

If you’re grieving, I want you to know: you are not alone. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but together, we can walk through the unspoken door with hope, love, and purpose.
