Send us Fan MailGetting Back Up: Finding Life After Death  (Season 1)Episode 16.5: Time Out - Still Getting Back UpTen episodes later, we’ve gone from the first morning alone to parenting through pain, rediscovering purpose, and opening our hearts to what comes next.In this reflection episode, Jamal and Dave look back at where they’ve been—from telling the kids, facing funerals, and handling solo parenting, to navigating new love. They share the lessons that stuck, the moments that surprised them, and how they’re continuing to get back up—and where they are going next with the Getting Back Up Podcast.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", otismusic.comThank you for listening!
