Never Know What Will Be the Last Words: A Love Letter to My Mother

About this episode

Reggie reflects on grief and loss in a heartfelt tribute to his mother following her passing.

In this deeply personal episode of Outreach with Reggie, Reggie reflects on grief, closure, motherhood, and the reality of navigating life after the passing of his mother on Mother’s Day 2024. Continuing his foster care journey from last episode, Reggie opens up about the psychology of loss, the weight of last conversations, healing without closure, and what it means to keep showing up for others while grieving privately yourself. This episode is a love letter to his mother — and to anyone learning how to carry loss while still moving forward.
