Getting Back Up: Finding Life After Death  (Season 1)

Episode 5:  Putting In The 4th Quarter Team 

When it got real, who did we call? We talk about how we leaned on friends, family, and even professionals when things got dark—and the importance of building your own squad for the hard times.

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.
