Podcast Interview

Alan Austin's First Podcast Interview

Alan shares the story behind The Long Echo — the morning that changed everything, decades of silent grief, and why giving language to childhood loss matters now more than ever.

"Grief doesn't end when the funeral is over. For a child, that's when it begins — and it echoes through every stage of life that follows."
