https://sarahlheringer.substack.com/ Wife. Witness. Writer. Survivor. Reluctant activist. Relentless truth-teller .I did not ask for this. But I will not look away. On June 4, 2025, my husband Patrick was murdered in our home while protecting me from a man who should never have been free. A man with a violent record, with open warrants, with a past the city ignored—and a blade in his hand. Patrick died in my arms.There are no metaphors for that. Only blood, memory, and silence.What followed was the unraveling of everything I thought was safe.What I write here is not for spectacle. It is not curated grief. It is not a campaign. It is a reckoning. With systems. With silence. With myself. I write because I need somewhere to put it.The grief. The fury. The facts. The failures.I write about public safety because no one else will say the quiet part out loud: that our leaders are protecting power, not people. That our systems are engineered to delay, distract, and discard the victims. That negligence is not a policy—it’s a pattern.I write about trauma in real time. I record podcasts from the dead center of it. Not once I’ve healed, but while I’m trying to.You’ll hear my voice shake. You’ll hear me try to laugh. You’ll hear a woman unlearning how to be agreeable and learning instead how to be impossible.Because being impossible might be the only way anything changes. This publication is a record.A record of a woman fighting for her own life after the one she loved was taken. A record of a broken city pretending it’s functioning. A record of truth-telling in a landscape built on press releases and public amnesia.There is poetry here. Not the pretty kind. The kind found at the bottom of grief, where language turns feral and light only filters in when you stop pretending you’re okay.There is politics here. But not in the way you’ve seen it. This is not partisan. It’s personal. This is about justice that was promised and never delivered.This is about what needs to be said, what needs to be burned down, and what must be rebuilt in its place. If you're here, I hope it’s because you’re willing to look.Not just at the facts, but at the fractures. Not just at the grief, but at what it demands of us.Because I am not a victim. I am what comes after. And I’m not writing this to be understood. I’m writing it so no one can say they didn’t know.Welcome to the fight. Welcome to the fire.

What does it actually mean to keep your heart open after the worst thing? Not as a platitude. As a survival strategy. This episode goes there. I just got back from a writer's retreat in the mountains of Colorado. I went
I finally felt something good again—and then it hit me. In this episode, I talk about the emotional backlash that follows moments of feeling alive, how my relationships are changing, and what Patrick’s birthday actually
How do you cope with a timeline you want no part of? It's the question everyone asks and nobody answers with any honesty. In this episode of This Is Healing, I go deep into what grief actually is — not a problem to be so
I went to turn on music before hitting record and it logged into Patrick's account. Not mine. His. And I just sat there — because that is exactly how grief works. Not in the dramatic moments. In the quiet ones that slip
What grief does to the body and how we build the capacity to stay alive inside a life we never chose. Have you ever wondered what grief actually does to the body?Nine months ago my husband was murdered in our home. This
Most of our culture talks about grief as if it lives on a calendar. People say things like “it’s been a year” or “time heals.” But when I heard a line in the film Hamnet, something in me recognized a deeper truth. Grief
This episode might sound like it’s about sex, drugs, and rock and roll. In some ways, it is. But not in the way people expect. This is a ten-day window into what grief actually looks like inside a body. The watching. The
It’s been eight months since my husband, Patrick, died. In this episode, I talk about what grief actually asks of me. Not emotionally. Socially. Physically. Relationally. Grief doesn’t just live in my heart. It lives in
I’m back for the first time since January 9th. This episode comes from my new home in Colorado and tells the full story of what these past weeks have actually been like. I talk about settling into a new house, building s
This episode was recorded from my new family room in Colorado, sitting in front of an enormous stone fireplace, looking out at snow I can’t even quantify. Eight inches. Ten. Maybe three feet. Who’s to say. What matters i
This episode was recorded on New Year’s Eve. Not as a celebration. Not as a resolution. Just a pause. I recorded this at seven o’clock, sitting among half-packed boxes, the year ending without ceremony. A threshold momen
This episode was recorded on a Friday afternoon when the wind cancelled my walk. A small disruption that opened a much larger conversation. About capacity. About loss. About what happens when the version of you who could
This episode was recorded after lunch with Jessica, another widow living inside the same weather. We talk about something grief teaches you fast: insight is not what settles it. Connection is. From there, the conversatio
This episode is not a lesson from the other side of grief. It’s a transmission from inside the season of it — winter, holidays, six months since Patrick’s murder, and the disorientation of living in a world that refuses
This episode is not a lesson from the other side of healing. It’s a transmission from the middle of it. I talk about losing Patrick, the physical reality of grief, the instinct to escape, and the question that sits benea
Five months in. I check in from the middle of it—no polish, no silver linings. This episode is a real-time download on grief, the pressure to “settle,” why healing isn’t a before/after story, and how I’m learning to trus
I open This Is Healing on a trial-update day with that wired, manic energy grief can carry. I share why I skipped the last two hearings (on my therapist’s advice), where the criminal case actually is (still pre-trial), a
There’s a point after someone dies when the mind begins to adapt but the body refuses. It keeps reaching for what it knew—his weight, his breath, the pattern of safety that lived in his skin. It’s not metaphor. It’s biol
One time at shaman camp, my teacher made it very clear: I am not a shaman. And I’m not supposed to do shaman things to other people. Everything I learned was for me—to practice, to embody, to remember how to heal myself
There’s a shamanic belief I hold close: when someone dies, their wisdom returns to the mountains. Bone becomes stone, blood becomes river, breath becomes wind. The body goes back to the land, but the deep knowing — the e
