Some losses are so profound they don't fit inside any framework we have for grief. Collin Farias's story is one of those, and his willingness to share it with the world is an act of extraordinary love.

In May 2024, Collin's wife Camry was diagnosed with colon cancer that quickly progressed to stage four. Choosing a holistic path instead of chemotherapy, Camry was navigating her illness while also navigating a pregnancy—holding two enormous, beautiful, terrifying things at once. At 23 weeks, her water broke. On July 3rd, their son Chance was born prematurely. That same day, Camry died.

Nine days later, Chance followed his mother.

In this episode, Collin walks us through all of it—with honesty, with tenderness, and with a kind of clarity that can only come from someone who has sat in the deepest depths of loss and chosen, over and over, to keep going.

From making funeral decisions to returning to the hospital, from leaning on community to posting on Instagram as an unexpected lifeline.

In this episode, we dig into:
✨ Camry's stage four colon cancer diagnosis and her choice of a holistic treatment path
✨ The devastating and intertwined loss of both his wife and premature son Chance within nine days
✨ The raw, practical reality of funeral decisions while you're still in shock
✨ Returning to the hospital, and what that experience held
✨ How sharing on Instagram became an unexpected coping outlet, and resonated with thousands
✨ Raising awareness about colon cancer through grief
✨ Living with urgency and choosing love over fear every single day

If you've ever watched a family member or close friend seem to "bounce back" from a loss while you're still deep in the thick of grief—and also wondered, "what is wrong with me?"—this episode is for you.

Spoiler: nothing is wrong with you. And I want you to feel that not just in your head, but in your bones.

In this episode, I'm digging into one of the most painful and misunderstood experiences in grief: feeling like you're falling behind while everyone around you seems to be moving forward. We talk about why it happens, what it actually means, and how to stop measuring your healing against someone else's timeline.

In this episode, we talk about:
✨ Why your grief timeline is completely unique to you, and the real reasons it looks different from everyone else's
✨ How the way you were raised to handle emotions shapes the way you grieve today
✨ The sneaky trap of feeling like you're "doing grief wrong"
✨ Five tangible tools and mindset shifts to help you find your footing again

This episode is for you if:
✨ You feel like everyone around you has moved on while you're still in it
✨ You've wondered if you're grieving "too long" or "too much"
✨ You feel unseen or misunderstood by the people closest to you
✨ You're ready to stop comparing and start honoring your own journey

Research consistently shows that grief is a deeply individual process shaped by the relationship we had with the person we lost, the way we were taught to cope with emotions growing up, and how deeply that person was woven into the fabric of our daily lives. If the people around you seem to be moving forward faster, it doesn't mean you're broken. It means your love was YOURS.

And your grief—at its own pace, in its own time—is yours, too. This episode will remind you that your timeline isn't a measure of your weakness, but a measure of your love.

Grief doesn't always come just once, and for some of us, it comes in waves that feel impossible to survive. In this episode, I sit down with grief advocate and host of The Healing Hearts Podcast Liz Quinn, who has walked through some of the most profound losses a person can experience: the death of her firstborn daughter, and both of her parents.

Liz's story is one of raw honesty, deep love, and the kind of grace that only comes from truly living with grief. Whether you're navigating the loss of a child, a parent, or multiple losses at once, this conversation will make you feel less alone and remind you that carrying your loved ones forward is one of the most beautiful things you can do.

In this episode, we talk about:
✨ Liz's early experiences with grief after losing her grandmother and how that shaped her relationship with loss
✨ The heartbreaking loss of her firstborn daughter, Alivia
✨ The rituals and visits that helped Liz honor her daughter's life
✨ How Liz and her husband grieved differently after losing Alivia
✨ Losing her father in 2018 to stage-four esophageal cancer while navigating her mother's Alzheimer's decline
✨ The loss of her mother
✨ What it means to continue bonds with those we've lost
✨ Parenting without your own parents, and how to find your footing when your biggest support system is gone
✨ Giving yourself grace in grief, and why taking it one day at a time isn't just a cliché... it's survival
