The Forever Remembered Podcast

This episode of Forever Remembered: Finding Help After Loss is an especially personal and emotional conversation.
Aaron sits down with Cindi Wilford, Laura’s mother, and Valerie Singley, Aaron’s mother—the grandmothers of Ari—to talk about a side of pregnancy and infant loss that is not discussed nearly enough: the grief of grandparents.
When a baby dies, the loss reaches far beyond the parents. Grandparents lose a grandchild they loved and a future they imagined being part of. At the same time, they are watching their own child experience unimaginable heartbreak.
In many ways, they are grieving for two generations at once.
Cindi and Valerie share their perspectives on losing Ari, how his death affected them personally, what it was like to navigate their own grief while trying to support Aaron and Laura, and how loss continues to impact an entire family.
This conversation gives space to the grandparents who may feel they need to stay strong for everyone else while quietly carrying profound grief of their own.
For the bereaved grandparents listening, we hope this episode reminds you that your grief matters, too. Your relationship with your grandchild mattered. And you deserve the space to remember, grieve, and heal.
And for families, friends, and support systems, we hope this conversation offers a deeper understanding of just how far the impact of pregnancy and infant loss can reach.
Ari is forever remembered—and in this episode, we hear his story through the hearts of two of the women who loved him as their grandson. 🤍

Episode 1: Ari's Story — The Conversation That Started It All
Welcome to the very first episode of Forever Remembered: Finding Help After Loss.
In this deeply personal episode, Ari Foss Foundation Executive Director and Founder Aaron Silverman shares the story behind the foundation and the little boy who inspired it all—his son, Ari.
This isn't an interview. It's a conversation.
Aaron opens up about the day his family's life changed forever, the grief that followed, the purpose that emerged from unimaginable loss, and why he believes no family should have to navigate pregnancy or infant loss alone.
Whether you have experienced loss yourself, love someone who has, or simply want to better understand the journey grieving families face, we hope this episode reminds you that there is hope, there is community, and there are people walking beside you.
Thank you for joining us as we begin this journey together.
