Episode 12 - The Day Everything Changed — Jorge’s Collapse, Medical Maze, and the Agony Ahead

In this deeply personal episode, we recount the tragic day Jorge was rushed to the hospital—a moment that shattered our sense of normal and launched us into a whirlwind of medical jargon, cold hallways, and an unimaginable kind of pain. This is our story, told from our perspective, raw and unfiltered.

We open up about the grueling process of navigating the healthcare system while grappling with fear, confusion, and helplessness. The conversations we had, the things we witnessed, and the emotional toll—it all left a mark that words can barely contain.

To ground ourselves while recording this episode, we leaned on small but powerful coping tools: sour candy, spicy chips, and each other. Sometimes, it’s the smallest comforts that help carry us through the darkest memories.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about sudden illness, medical trauma, death, and grief. Please listen with care and take breaks if needed.

This is not just about what happened—this is how we lived it.
