Episode 05: Words Left Unsaid

Losing both parents by age 30 left Becka feeling "orphaned" in a way that most of her peers couldn't understand. She created "Words Left Unsaid" to provide a platform for the things we wish we could say to those we’ve lost. We dove into the "deficit mindset" that often follows loss, the way we romanticize how much better life would be if they were still here, and the unique trauma of losing family during the height of COVID-19. It was a raw look at the secondary losses that happen when the world puts you in a "victim bucket" instead of just meeting you where you are.
