Sorry, I'm Sad
When her husband was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in June 2019 and given 6-12 months to live, Kelsie Snow avoided other people's sad stories as a rule, but as time wore on she found herself seeking them out. Snow, a former sports reporter for The Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times and St. Paul Pioneer Press, began writing about her life on her website and learned there is comfort in knowing how others have loved, lost and kept going.
Sorry, I'm Sad chronicles the Snows' story in real-time. From the desperate early days, to the hopefulness of a promising clinical trial, to heartbreaking setbacks and constant grappling with mortality, and Chris' unexpected death in September of 2023, Kelsie, along with others she has met along this path, share stories about grief, loss and the importance of hope.

What if it All Works Out: One Year Later with Sandra Abrevaya
One year after her first appearance on Sorry, I'm Sad, Sandra Abrevaya joins Kelsie to talk about her life over the last 12 months, their friendship and their husband's shared illnesses.
Sandra cofounded I Am ALS and Synapticure with her husband, Brian, after he was diagnosed with ALS about five years ago. More than an interview, this is a conversation between two friends, two women, two mothers, two wives, trying to make sense of lives they never envisioned for themselves, trying to find a way to find joy and luck and gratitude and hope in a world that sometimes feels dark and filled with sadness. This is about finding a way to still ask, in spite of the odds -- what if it all works out?
