Send us Fan MailGetting Back Up: Finding Life After Death  (Season 1)Episode 10:  When the Calls Stop Coming...It's just me.The food stops showing up. The texts stop buzzing. The people who promised to be there… vanish.In this episode, Jamal and Dave open up about the moment the crowd fades and the real loneliness begins. They share their own stories, call out the awkwardness, and break down what happens when grief and parenting becomes yours alone to carry.This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt forgotten in the middle of mourning or lost in the early days of single parenting.Getting Back Up: Finding Life After Death is a podcast that explores the raw, unfiltered reality of surviving profound personal loss—and finding a way forward.  The idea for the podcast was born after David and Jamal met in 2023. Both widowers, who had lost their wives to cancer, quickly found a deep connection through multiple conversations about pain, perseverance, and parenthood. They realized that while men often bond over music, sports, or TV, they rarely speak candidly about loss or emotional recovery. Getting Back Up was created to change that narrative—blending the everyday with the existential in a format that’s as relatable as it is real. Thank you for your support!Hosts: David McClain & Jamal JonesExecutive Directors: Marlon Jackson & Ted Winners (Like A Gazelle Productions)Editing: Steve Senisi (Reel Media)Music: Grenada, "Treasure" McDonald, Otis, "Phife for Life", http://www.otismacmusic.comThank you for listening!
