This week on Ghosted, I’m talking to Paulina about losing her 12-year-old little sister, Yesenia, in a car accident.
Paulina shares what it was like to be in the car the day her sister died and the complicated reality of being the surviving sibling. We talk about the weight of that word “surviving”. The guilt, the gratitude, the responsibility, and the love that never leaves.
She opens up about how faith has carried her and her family through the unimaginable, and how they’ve learned to stay deeply connected while still honoring that everyone grieves differently
We spend time celebrating Yesenia, a light, a force of joy at just 12 years old, and the way Paulina chooses to live fully in her honor.
This episode is about giving yourself grace. About surviving something you never should have had to. About recognizing your luck and your heartbreak at the same time.
And about loving someone so much that you carry them forward with you.
