The Adapted Life
Welcome to The Adapted Life Podcast, a dedicated space for those who have faced profound challenges, particularly those who have navigated the journey of having a child born with severe disabilities. This podcast serves as a sanctuary for connection, offering support and strategies for building resilience when life unfolds differently than we envisioned.
In this series, I share my personal journey with my disabled son, detailing the ups and downs we experienced together. Our story is one of love, hardship, and ultimately, adaptation. But now, my focus has shifted to the complex and often lonely path of adapting to life after the loss of my son.
Grief is a powerful, consuming force that changes everything. It can feel isolating and overwhelming, reshaping how we perceive the world around us. Through this podcast, I hope to explore what it means to grieve, to honor the memory of my son, and to find ways to move forward while carrying his spirit with me.
We'll discuss practical approaches to adapting to loss, including how to find joy in small moments, the importance of community support, and strategies for navigating everyday life when the ground beneath you has shifted. This journey is deeply personal, yet universal in its themes of love, loss, and resilience.
Join me as we create a conversation around grief and adaptation, turning our experiences into pathways for healing and connection. Every story shared strengthens our community and reminds us that while loss is an inevitable part of life, we have the capacity to adapt and find new meanings, even amidst heartache.

Travel and Vacation With my Disabled Son
In this episode, I share with listeners an inside look at just how complicated it is for me to bring my disabled son on vacation, or traveling anywhere for that matter.
May I first add, that as Daniel has aged and become a young adult, he is heavier and requires more assistance with mobility and transferring and caregiving in general. If we are blessed to be able to take Daniel on a vacation, the planning, traveling and staying is pretty much at a ridiculous level of being prepared.
In this episode I share the challenge we face with traveling with our son who is severely disabled.
We have never taken a vacation without Daniel, and work really hard to include him.
There is no easy way to travel with a severely disabled person.
