About this listen
In this deeply personal episode, I share the two life-altering events that collided within two years — the sudden loss of my hearing in 2021, and the death of my daughter, Stephanie, in early 2023.
I open up about the chaos of going deaf, the emotional and financial toll, and the silence that settled over my world just as I was beginning to navigate life again. Then came the message that changed everything — a stranger on Facebook, a borrowed phone call, and the words no parent ever wants to read.
This is a story of grief, deafness, and love that endures even in absence. It’s about showing up for a final goodbye. About making space for birthdays even when the guest of honor is gone. And about finding ways to keep joy alive — not just for me, but for those still here.
Because even in silence, love has a voice. And even in grief, happiness deserves to be accessible.
