I just remember spilling Jell-O, red Jell-O on my blanky and being so upset about it, because I remember thinking this Jell-O is on my blanket and I am never going to be able to forget this memory. Things aren’t always going to always follow the plan you thought they would. In this episode I sit down with my daughter Quinn and break down that day that changed our lives.

In This Episode:

* I am joined by my Daughter Quinn and she brings her perspective into the mix

* The continuation of my story and what my Daughter (7 at the time) experienced.

“It is really hard to have parents, parent”

Life is tragically unpredictable and living in denial is something you have to try your best to not get stuck in. My Daughter is now 21 and still, deals with anxiety to this day. Quinn Details her experiences in this in-depth episode of the Kristiane Cates Podcast.

From The Funeral Forward: I know there are plenty of people that have taken the lives of others by accident and on purpose. My intention is to change your life with this podcast and to dare you to live better. Not broken, or bitter. Use every single thing that happens in your life to make you better.

In This Episode:

* We pick up from after the funeral and what became of my marriage.

* Now that I have a fatality on my record I am experience up’s and downs. I detail some of that.

* Have you ever had to pull over on the side of the road to cry?

* Have you ever became the person you hated ?

“In some cases, your mess will become your message”

Being betrayed by your best friend is something I could never wish upon anyone, but having dealt with it twice, and then to become that person? Life throws us a ton of curveballs and it is up to us to decide where we want the ball to go. I hope this episode guides you well.

We were an ordinary couple—church, friends, a fairly solid moral compass.  I married at 25.  My prince was the charming, very handsome boy next door (literally).  He far exceeded my expectations of the man I was going to marry.  One day that all changed.  The day when I killed my son in a car accident.  On that day i got the life I never wanted.
