I honestly couldn’t get over this part of our conversation... Camry was the one dying, yet she was still taking care of @collinfarias and telling HIM to breathe. I don’t have many words for this one... it’s awe-inspiring. I just think we all need to hear this today and honor Camry’s absolutely INCREDIBLE bravery and selflessness.

This is SO important for people to hear... I see this all the time with fellow grievers. So much of grief gets tangled up in the why. Why me, why them, why this, why now... And what @collinfarias is offering here isn’t a silver lining or a reason. It’s something harder and more honest than that. It’s an acceptance of the chaos of the universe (love that), without needing it to mean something. That’s what this episode is truly about, in addition to sharing his profound story of losing his wife, Camry, and son, Chance. Tell me your thoughts on this below 🫶🏼👇🏼 Drop into episode 208 wherever you enjoy your podcasts and YouTube 🩷

Autopilot grief is real... and @collinfarias describes it in a way that will stop you in your tracks. Holding his son. Calling the funeral director. Walking into a coffee shop and looking around at a world that had no idea what he'd just lived through. This was SUCH a relatable piece of our insanely incredible and touching conversation. Can you relate to feeling on autopilot like this? Tell us 👇🏼 Drop into episode 208 wherever you enjoy your podcasts and YouTube 🩷

The moment @collinfarias found out Camry had cancer, he made a choice most of us would struggle to make... He let himself feel it. All of it. Not because it was easy, but because he knew that denial would cost him something he couldn’t get back: presence. And that presence became everything during the time they had left together. This is one of the most quietly profound things he shared in our conversation, and it’s something that has genuinely sat with me ever since. This is an episode you’ll not only want to hear, but NEED to hear if you’re navigating grief and feeling the entirety of the human experience... but might be struggling with it.

Some losses are so profound they don’t fit inside any framework we have for grief. @collinfarias story is one of those, and his willingness to share it with the world is an act of extraordinary love. In May 2024, Collin’s wife Camry was diagnosed with colon cancer that quickly progressed to stage four. Camry was navigating her illness while also navigating a pregnancy—holding two enormous, beautiful, terrifying things at once. At 23 weeks, her water broke. On July 3rd, their son Chance was born prematurely... that same day, Camry died. Nine days later, Chance followed. In this episode, Collin walks us through all of it—with honesty, with tenderness, and with a kind of clarity that can only come from someone who has sat in the deepest depths of loss and chosen, over and over, to keep going. From making funeral decisions to returning to the hospital, from leaning on community to posting on Instagram as an unexpected lifeline... we talk about it all. AND... Because this conversation was literally sooo f*cking good, Collin and I want to offer something up to you all... ❤️ We want to do a part 2 of this conversation, but bring YOU into it ❤️ We want to hear your questions, and we’ll answer them on the podcast. Whether it’s a question you have for Collin, myself, or both of us—anything from our stories, to how we’ve coped, to how one continues on in the wake of such profound loss—we want to hear from you.

March 21st, the day that Camry and I got married last year. Today, I feel her joy and her love more than anything else. It’s not been a day of sadness, but one of happiness. I keep going back to having gratitude that we were able to pull it off with the time we had. Any later and I don’t think it would’ve been possible. As I sit outside, taking in the sun, I’m reminded of her push for myself, and for all of us, to keep living. To keep enjoying the sun, listening to the birds, and breathing. BIG LOVE 💛

More to come, but I’ve been having people ask for house updates, so here’s a lil something 🫶🏼 It’ll be fun to unpack more of the history of the house, renovation process, and other tid bits on the home. Stay tuned 🫡 Special shoutout to @katiegkrauter for helping to procure a lot of pieces seen throughout the house! Big thank you to @thecolorcoindy for your kindness in doing the mural for me, it’s been a great addition #homerenovation #interiordesign #construction #love

I’m finding my footing in this new life. I’m moving forward. I’m assessing my priorities, what’s meant for me in this next chapter. Word vomiting along the way as I trudge my way through. I’d love to hear from people on what they’d love to see more of from me as I get into a season of wanting to share more again. What would you like to see? BIG LOVE! 💛 #love #grief #griefjourney #lovewins

My sweet boy was supposed to come home with me today, but passed in July, 9 days after his mom. Today felt like the right day to collect things from the hospital where they both passed. It had been in the back of my head as something I knew I needed to do, but couldn’t get myself to. I’m so grateful that I have all of these relics to remember them both by. I love you, Chance Toliver Farias💛💛💛 #love #lovewins #grief #griefjourney #childloss
