TW: This episode discusses suicide and won’t be for everyone. If you or anyone you know needs support, there is a list of services below. 

There’s something special about meeting someone later in life. You have a stronger sense of who you are, shaped by everything you’ve been through—the highs, the lows—and you move with a kind of calm confidence that just fits. That was the case for Amy and Matt.

But life has a way of testing you. The longer you live it, the more you’re asked to carry—and over time, that weight can take its toll. Even with the strongest support around you, some burdens are just too heavy to hold.
