Description

Get in touch In the beginning, everyone remembers. People call. They check in. They remember birthdays and anniversaries. They ask how you're doing. But as the years pass, something begins to change. The calls become less frequent. Fewer people mention your child's name. Life continues moving forward for everyone around you, while your child remains just as much a part of your life as ever. In this episode of Don't Forget To Breathe, Bruce and Kristin talk openly about what remembering looks like many years after the deaths of Kristen and Zach. They share how birthdays and anniversaries have changed, what it's like watching their children's friends reach milestones their own children never had the chance to experience, and those unexpected moments when the body seems to remember even before the mind does. They also talk about something remarkably simple that can mean so much to a bereaved parent: hearing someone say their child's name. Because when you say their name, you're not reminding us that they died. You're reminding us that they lived. This is Part One of a deeply personal conversation about memory, time, and continuing to carry our children with us. Support the show Help keep the Don’t Forget To Breathe podcast going.
