Welcome back to The Day After!

Today, we’re joined by Cesar who opens up about the complexities of self-care in the face of adversity. Cesar candidly shares his struggles with asking for help, throwing light on the importance of recognizing our own needs. We discuss the transformative power of loss and how it shapes our approach to life and parenting.

Cesar's powerful story is one of heartache and love, stretching from the memories of his mother's sacrifice to his daughter Lucia's challenging introduction to the world. Our conversation travels through profound grief, the importance of workplace empathy, and the irreplaceable value of family stories. Through his touching personal journey, highlighted by the loss of his mother and the challenges he faced afterward, Cesar speaks to the core of what so many deal with when confronting life's most difficult moments.

Join us as we explore questions of legacy and connection, and as Cesar offers a reminder of the fleeting nature of life. Discover the role of storytelling in healing, the impact of shared experiences, and the silent strength in recognizing when to seek help. It's a poignant reminder to cherish our loved ones and the time we have with them.

Tune in, listen deeply, and perhaps find a piece of your own story reflected in Cesar's. 

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.
