Living After
by Santiago Pinon
Living After is a podcast about what happens when life does not return to normal. Through honest reflections on grief, love, faith, anger, memory, and hope, Santiago Piñón explores the difficult work of living after profound loss. Grounded in his own experience as a father whose children, Amelia and Alexander, were stillborn, the series gives particular attention to the grief of fathers and men—grief that is often carried quietly, overlooked, or left without words. Rather than offering easy answers or promising that pain will disappear, Living After asks a different question: How do we continue to love, live, and remain present when the life we imagined is gone? Each episode creates space for the sleepless nights, difficult anniversaries, unanswered prayers, anger, silence, and unexpected moments of grace that accompany loss. It is a podcast for those who grieve, those who walk beside them, and anyone
