She Buried Her Son… Then Went Looking for Her Husband

How do you keep going when the person who helped you survive losing your baby is suddenly gone too?I sit down with Britt Del Toro for a conversation about infant loss, suicide bereavement, and the grief that follows you into every corner of your life. Britt shares the heartbreaking loss of her 10-week-old son, Zeppelin, her own suicide attempt, and later losing her husband, Troy, to suicide.What stays with me is her honesty about everything that comes after: the guilt, the unanswered questions, and trying to parent when you can barely get through the day yourself.In this episode:Saying goodbye to Zeppelin and choosing organ donationThe depression that deepened after the funeralSurviving a suicide attempt and reaching for helpLoving Troy through mental illness and grieving his deathFinding moments of faith while living with lossI’m grateful Britt trusted me with the parts of her story that are still painful to say out loud. She speaks about grief without pretending she has it figured out, and about asking for support when the weight feels unbearable.If you’re carrying a loss nobody else can see, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone.Key Moments:00:00 Losing a baby, then a husband03:48 The moment Britt found Zeppelin08:17 The guilt of every “what if”12:19 Holding her baby one last time16:47 The heartbreaking choice to donate his organs21:26 When the funeral ends and grief gets louder25:17 The nightmares nobody saw29:25 When grief became a mental health crisis33:40 Surviving a suicide attempt41:50 The side of Troy others didn’t see46:20 Chronic pain and a growing crisis50:57 The week before everything changedConnect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyler.hall/Connect with Britt:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/britt_deltoro/
