  • The Death Certificate Was Wrong

    We had a cause of death, but it was incorrect and caused huge problems when dealing with insurance. Join us as we share the process of getting an attorney and an independent medical examiner to help us fight the insurance companies all while still reeling from the aftermath of Erick's death and the fact that the autopsy did not support the original manner and cause of death listed on his death certificate.

  • Official Cause of Death

    We finally had the official autopsy report and the death certificate. We finally had answers, but what do you do when it's very clear that the official ruling on the cause of death is inaccurate based on the autopsy itself AND that ruling affects your finances and ability to move forward? Join us as we read through Erick's final autopsy report, what he died from at the age of 38, the police investigation, and share our feelings just prior to the release of his death certificate and after when we realized the medical examiner clearly allowed personal bias to interfere with the facts of the autopsy, which lead to an official cause of death that changed everything moving forward.


    Trigger Warning: Topics covered include drug use, alcohol abuse, and suicide.

  • Relapse, Guilt, and Regret

    Erick relapsed three weeks prior to his sudden death. This episode is emotional for both of us as Isack shares deeply personal regrets about the things that he said to Erick during this time. Suzy talks about how easy it is to play the "What if?" game around things that could have been done that may have changed the outcome and we both share our feelings of guilt in the things that were left unresolved due to his sudden death in the midst of this crisis.

  • Healthy Coping Mechanisms
    The journey continues.
    In this episode, we address questions we've been getting about how we deal with talking about what happened so openly, publicly, and vulnerably. How we cope with the memories brought back to the surface while sharing this huge loss and tragedy that has entirely shifted and forever changed our lives. We share the healthy coping mechanisms we individually have implemented during the production of this podcast and the coping mechanisms we incorporate into our daily lives that help us deal with the intense grief and loss we've experienced.
    Then we pick right back up in the journey to the days and months after Erick returned home from detox and what happened after that. How even Erick himself started to focus on addressing the core issues he had been avoiding and started to embrace coping strategies like boundaries, accountability, therapy, and even mental health medications in the short amount of time leading up to his sudden and accidental death.

  • Detoxing From Alcohol
    In this episode, we discuss our personal experiences and feelings on how helping Erick get into detox affected us individually and as a family. Alcohol detox is only the FIRST step in addressing this disease and there was a long road in front of us, or so we thought.

  • Alcohol Addiction
    The day we finally find out what really has been going on with Erick for several months prior. This episode comes with some heavy topics. We explore the slippery slope of alcohol addiction and how the ease of access and social acceptability contribute to the challenges people face around alcohol. We also discuss why alcohol is commonly used as a social lubricant and how that can play into the larger problem for those struggling with anxiety.
    In this episode, we reference a recent podcast episode by Dr. Jordan B. Peterson so here are the links:

  • Anxiety, Sleep Deprivation, and Depression
    How do you deal with seeing someone spiral? To watch someone you love start to go into a deep depression and deal with things like severe anxiety and insomnia is such helpless feeling. To know someone you love is in SO much emotional pain and you don't know what to do to make it better for them. It is one of THE hardest things to go through.
    Join us as we discuss those things in continuing to share the journey of losing the person we loved the most.
