From Heartbreak to Hope: Our Story

What It Actually Feels Like After Loss

In this episode, I talk about what it actually feels like after everything slows down. After the hospital. After the urgency. After the moment itself. Because that’s when it really starts to sink in. I share what those first days were like, the emotions that came with it, and the parts of grief that aren’t always talked about, including anger, helplessness, and what it feels like trying to move forward when everything has changed. This episode builds on our story and goes deeper into the experience behind it. If you’ve gone through something similar, or know someone who has, I hope this helps you feel a little less alone.

From Heartbreak to Hope: Our Story

In this first episode of the Heartbreak to Hope Podcast, I share the story that changed our lives forever. What started as excitement over a pregnancy quickly turned into a life-threatening emergency when my wife suffered a rare uterine rupture at just 12 weeks. Within hours, she was in surgery fighting for her life. We lost our baby, Alex. And we came very close to losing her too. In this episode, I walk through what happened that morning, what the days after looked like, and what it’s really like to navigate pregnancy loss and grief when everything changes so suddenly. This is the story behind why the Heartbreak to Hope Foundation exists, and the beginning of a journey toward healing, support, and hope for other families going through something similar.
