  • Bite Size: What Grief Teaches You About Survival | Christina 'BC' Sy
    Jan 18 2026

    What keeps you going when life takes everything from you?

    Christina “BC” Sy shares what it means to keep showing up after the unimaginable. After losing both of her children, her world didn’t just change — it shattered.

    Hear how survival became a daily decision, why grief never truly disappears, and how learning to live alongside pain became the only way forward. This isn’t about “moving on.” It’s about choosing to keep going — one day at a time — when the unthinkable has already happened.

    If you’re struggling with grief or thoughts of self-harm, you are not alone. Help is available:

    • Lifeline Australia (24/7): 13 11 14
    • Beyond Blue (24/7): 1300 22 4636
    • Kids Helpline (if supporting children): 1800 55 1800
