Welcome back! In Episode 3, we talk with Kelly, who lost her parents after graduating college. 

As an adopted child, Kelly felt her parents truly saved her. Frustrated, angry, and sad that they couldn’t be there to see her through her formative years, meet their grandchildren, and more - Kelly lost her sense of self and battled with addiction.  

In this powerful episode, Kelly shares how her experience with loss and addiction has (and continues to) shaped her journey as a Mother. 

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.
