Crystal-Gayle tells her story from where she lives, Jamaica, and the many efforts she has put in to get change to happen there. Her precious son, Damani, was born prematurely and died just a few short days after his birth. During her time in the hospital, Crystal-Gayle noticed just how horrible the bereavement standards were and how uneducated the staff was on how to treat her. She dives into what she is trying to get done in her country and how she needs help to do so. She is a one woman voice helping so many but needs help from others to amplify her efforts. She is a wonderful mother to her son Damani and you can hear her unending love for him when she tells his story.

Living the Loss Life

Formerly called "At a Total Loss" because when I first started this podcast just 4 months in, I was at a total loss. Literally. My first son, Brody, was stillborn at 37 weeks, and I didn’t know how I was going to survive. Now, a few years later, I’ve learned to live the loss life—and I want to help you do the same. This podcast is still a raw, real, and sometimes darkly funny look at what life after baby loss really feels like. From stillbirth to parenting after loss, navigating trauma, relationships, mental health, and everything in between—this is where we talk about the things no one else does. Whether you’re grieving, surviving, trying to make sense of it all, or just looking for someone who gets it… you’re in the right place.
This isn’t just grief support. This is loss mama real talk.
No fluff. No filter. Just you, me, and the truth about what it means to keep living when part of you is missing and what it takes to live the loss life carrying our babies with us.
