In this deeply moving episode of Trust Me, we are honored to share the raw and powerful story of Sarah Wilkinson, who bravely opens her heart about the unimaginable loss of her son, Dylan. From the moment she speaks, her truth reverberates beyond the room—through generations, identities, and the unseen threads that bind us as a community.
This is not just a story of grief; it is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the ways in which loss is carried differently across our lived experiences. It is about the weight of love, the silence that lingers when language fails, and the ways communities either show up or look away. It is about motherhood in all its forms—about who gets held, who gets heard, and how we can reimagine support in a world that often moves too quickly past pain.
Through her vulnerability, we witness the radical act of staying present. We see the quiet revolution of bearing witness, of holding space when there are no answers, and of refusing to let someone grieve alone. In this conversation, we ask: What does it mean to truly lean in? Not just as friends or family, but as a collective—one that values care as deeply as progress.
Even if you have never known this kind of loss, this episode will stir something within you—a deeper compassion, a call to rethink how we show up for one another, and a renewed understanding of how grief reshapes not just individuals, but entire communities. Because in the end, healing is never just personal. It is shared. It is held. It is collective.
