Getting Back Up: Finding Life After Death (Season 1)
Episode 16: New Love On the Horizon
Falling in love again after loss is layered. In this episode, Jamal and Dave reflect on what it means to move forward while still honoring the past. Jamal shares how his connection with Jordan grew organically—through friendship, life experiences, and timing—and how stepping into a new relationship challenged him to lead with honesty, emotional clarity, and self-awareness. Dave offers a different but equally real perspective—on choosing not to move forward in a relationship that didn’t align with the season he was in, especially as a solo father still navigating grief.
Together, they explore the emotional reality of blending new love with old friendships, shifting family dynamics, and learning to date while parenting through loss. The key takeaways? Grieve first. Date when you’re ready—not when people think you should be. You don’t owe anyone explanations, but you do owe your future partner compassion and clarity. The right person will honor your past, not compete with it. The right harmony among your friends, family, and the proper connection to your children find balance in due time.
Getting Back Up: Finding Life After Death is a podcast that explores the raw, unfiltered reality of surviving profound personal loss—and finding a way forward. The idea for the podcast was born after David and Jamal met in 2023. Both widowers, who had lost their wives to cancer, quickly found a deep connection through multiple conversations about pain, perseverance, and parenthood. They realized that while men often bond over music, sports, or TV, they rarely speak candidly about loss or emotional recovery. Getting Back Up was created to change that narrative—blending the everyday with the existential in a format that’s as relatable as it is real.
