I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m so glad I got to know about Alex and the light be brought into this world. Thanks for sharing your story. It broke through and resonated hard. What a rare gift ❤️
This was so beautiful & tragic. Great way to honor your friend Alex. After losing someone close to suicide, a lot of things have been put into perspective for me. This definitely highlights what that grief/guilt can feel like. Great format and thank you for sharing this
Stumbled across this and luckily i did. it is truly one of the best postcasts ive ever listened to. It’s a short series so take it all in, everyone give it a try!
A wonderful tribute to a friend. Crafted with all the care in the world. Chris and everyone who worked on it are amazing.
