In this episode, we sit down with Nicole, who lost her cousin at age 9. 

Nicole discusses the guilt that has colored her grief, her path to processing the loss, and how the experience shapes her relationships today.  

Nicole’s story reminds us to accept our grief as valid and to always say “I love you” before hanging up the phone. 

A personal note from the hosts: After much reflection, we've decided that this season of "The Day After" will be our final one. It has been a profound honor to share this journey through grief with all of you. As CJ steps back to focus on other ventures, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your support, your stories, and your willingness to navigate these difficult conversations alongside us. Though the podcast is ending, we hope the conversations about grief and loss continue, and that our episodes remain a resource for those who need them. If you've found comfort in our discussions, Ashley and Liz will continue Sit, Lay, Rest - our pet grief podcast - you can follow them on Instagram at @sitlayrest. Thank you for being part of our community.
