About Us

Four days after my son graduated high school, I was sitting in the ICU being told he might not survive.

That was 2019.

Seven years later Holden calls it the greatest gift he ever received.

This is Holding Life Together.

We're Trisha and Holden Ludwig, a mother and son whose world cracked open in 2019. What came out the other side was a community, a mission, and a son who came back more alive than ever. We built Holding Life Together for everyone who has ever felt invisible in their own story — the survivors, the caregivers, and anyone whose life divided into before and after.

You don't have to hold it alone anymore.

Life is short, it's wild, and it's yours — let's live it together.
