May 15, 2018 Episode #35: The Gold And The Broken Bits
Chris was brought up to be positive. And to get on with it no matter what. But getting on with it isn't always so easy when others won't make room for you to be a full person.

May 08, 2018 Karen
Karen tried for years to get pregnant before she and her husband Dave decided to give up on the idea. When Karen goes go the doctor to have a small lump checked out, she learns that — surprise! — she’s three months pregnant … and she also has incurable cancer.
That pregnancy became Mandi, whose mom Karen died when she was just 15 months old. And her dad, Dave? He had NO idea what he was doing. He was a new widow and a new father, and he was a mess.
In this episode, father and daughter come together to talk about their complicated relationship — and about Karen.

May 08, 2018 Episode #34: Karen
Sometimes a person's absence can become a presence. A dark, unspoken void that can suck you right in if you don't address it.

May 01, 2018 Witness
Religion often gives people a sense of belonging. It tells them who’s in and sometimes (depending on the faith, or depending on the microcosm of the faith they're raised in) who's out.
That's how Patricia grew up — in a faith where leaving your religion meant leaving behind everyone you love. She is a former Jehovah’s Witness who left the church when she was in her mid-20s.
This episode looks at what's worse: keeping the people you love at a distance, or showing them your true colors and losing them forever.

March 27, 2018 Bryson's Purpose
Chelsey and Kevin's 3-month-old son, Bryson, was in his second week of daycare when he died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS.
When a baby dies of SIDS, it's almost like saying there's no cause of death. It's horrifying to think about, but sometimes babies just ... die. For no reason.
This is an episode about grieving parents trying to make sense of the absolutely senseless.
