Please Send Help: Marriage, Motherhood, and the Man in the Middle

In this episode of Echoes of Her: To Mom, With Love , I talk with my husband, Mike, about loving and building a life together while grieving someone he never got to know my mom. We explore how her loss shapes our marriage, the ways it influences how we parent, and how grief can touch both the person who lived the relationship and the one who didn’t.

This is a raw, honest conversation about Black love, generational legacy, mother-daughter bonds, and navigating loss when it impacts the whole family even those who never knew her. What would she have thought about her son in law?

How would my relationship with my own in-laws have differed if my mother were here? We tackle that and more.

To Elaine Coleman with love! Echoes of Her is a space for the full truth, where love and pain can exist together, and where stories help us feel less alone.
