Description

Life After Child Loss is a deeply personal and powerful podcast that explores the raw, unfiltered journey of grief—not just my own, but that of parents around the world who have lost a child for reasons as varied as they are heartbreaking.

This is the kind of grief many don’t understand and most shy away from. But here, we talk about it—honestly, openly, and with nothing off limits. It’s an in-depth look at what it really means to keep living after unthinkable loss.

Walk with me as I share the twists and turns, the highs and heartbreak, of learning to move beyond mere survival. Together, we’ll explore what it means to find meaning, purpose, and even joy while carrying the weight of loss—and learning to live again after I buried my son.

We live in a world that expects grieving parents to “be strong” — to smile, to say “I’m fine,” to carry the unbearable with grace. But here’s the truth: pretending to be ok only buries the grief deeper. In this episode of Life After Child Loss: A Parent’s Grief (Season 6, Episode 3), I’m breaking the silence on what it really costs us to hide our pain, and why giving yourself permission to not be ok is one of the bravest steps you can take toward healing. 💔 Your tears are valid. 💔 Your sadness is holy. 💔 You don’t have to carry it alone. ✨ And at the end, I’ll also share how the Grief to Grace Journal can be a safe space for your unspoken truths. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. 🕊️ Explore: – The 7-day Grief to Grace Audio Series w/Free Grief to Grace Journal Purchase here: https://grieftograce.gumroad.com/l/isopdz You can also 📩 Submit your letter to your child: StrengtheningWhatRemains@gmail.com #LifeAfterChildLoss #BereavedParents #GriefPodcast #ItsOkToNotBeOk #PermissionToGrieve #GriefJourney #ChildLossCommunity #RestWellGrieveGently Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/life-after-child-loss-a-parents-grief/donations

Thank you for sharing from your heart and I am so sorry about your loss of your son. I lost my daughter April 15, 2012, just days after her 25th birthday. That day is the day my life changed.
