**TRIGGER WARNING** 
This episode contains discussions about suicide. 

This week, we sit down with Phil, who was just 13 when he lost his dad to suicide. As Phil shouldered the burden of adult responsibilities in the aftermath, he was forced to not only mourn his father, but also his childhood. 

Join us for Phil’s story of growth and resilience through an evolving grief journey. 

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.
