Still Here: A Shattered Hearts Oasis Podcast is a grief-informed, trauma-aware journey through child loss, healing, resilience, and learning how to live after the unimaginable.
Hosted by Leah, a licensed clinical social worker and grieving mother, this podcast tells the raw story of losing her son, Thomas, in a motorcycle accident and the path that followed: early grief, survival, organ donation, trauma in medical systems, and the slow, sacred process of living forward.
Blending personal narrative, clinical insight, mental health education, and real-life experience, each episode offers support for grieving mothers, bereaved parents, trauma survivors, organ donor families, and anyone navigating profound loss. This is not a podcast about moving on. It is about honoring grief, understanding trauma, finding meaning, and discovering resilience in the depths of heartbreak.
Listeners will find validation, language for their pain, and a safe space to breathe.
You do not have to be okay to be here.
You only have to still be here.

Episode 1: The Day Everything Split
Some moments divide your life into Before and After.
This is the story of mine.
In this first episode, I walk you through the night everything changed — the text, the ditch, the road, and the moment I saw the first image of a world without my son Thomas. Told with the same raw honesty that shaped Shattered Hearts Oasis, this episode blends memory, shock, and the lived experience of early grief in its truest form.
Still Here is a space where grief is spoken out loud — without rushing, fixing, or softening the truth. If you are a grieving mother, love someone who is, or want to understand what child loss actually feels like on the inside… this is where the story begins.
You’re not alone.
And somehow, neither am I.
