Trauma Uncensored

Honoring the “Should Have Beens”


Listen Later

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses grief, loss of a child, and emotional suppression.

In this heartfelt episode of Trauma Uncensored, Brooke reflects on what would have been her son Logan’s 18th birthday — a milestone filled with the weight of should have been. She and Andres talk about how they plan to celebrate his memory, and how important it is to honor your pain instead of just trying to “deal with it.”

They dive into the quiet grief of missed moments, the struggle of navigating people who compare trauma, and the emotional walls many of us were taught to build instead of break down.

This episode is for anyone holding space for loss that others can’t see — a reminder that there’s no wrong way to carry what hurts, and that your story is yours alone.
