Don't Forget To BreatheAuthor: Bruce Barker
Originally launched in 2020, this podcast began as a form of soul-cleansing and healing, as I shared my journey as a father who suddenly lost his 20-year-old daughter in 2006, a tragedy no parent should ever have to endure.After a three year hiatus filled with personal transformation, including divorce, closing my business, intensive therapy, and continued healing, I return with a renewed heart and deeper understanding.In future seasons, Ill be sharing conversations with other parents who have bravely offered to speak about living with the unimaginable. Together, well explore what grief looks like over time, and how hope, love, and even laughter can coexist with loss.Youll hear the shift in my voice from where I was then, to where I am now. I trust youll find common ground in our stories, and perhaps a glimmer of hope as you continue on your own path.

Send us Fan MailIn Part 2 of Gina’s story, we move beyond the moment everything changed and into the long, complicated reality of living after child loss. This conversation holds space for what grief becomes over time, the loneliness that cannot be fixed, the misunderstandings that even well-meaning people carry, and the deeply personal work of healing.Gina shares what it means to feel “Gabe-sized loneliness,” a space no one else can fill, and how grief work looks different for everyone. From avoidance and delayed healing to the life-changing impact of family therapy, this episode brings honesty to the hard, often unspoken parts of grief. You’ll also hear how love continues, through everyday rituals, through memories, and through the intentional ways Gina and her family carry Gabe forward. This is a conversation about choosing to live, about staying connected, and about finding strength you didn’t know you had.For grieving parents and those walking beside them, this episode is a reminder, you don’t have to understand it all to show up, but presence matters.
