Description

Birthdays after loss can feel like a pressure cooker—grief, love, and longing all wrapped into one overwhelming day. In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing how I navigate my daughter Katie’s birthday and offering ideas that might help you too. If the thought of your child’s upcoming birthday feels too heavy to hold, this episode is for you.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

  • Gentle, meaningful ways to honor your child’s birthday without added pressure
  • How small rituals can bring comfort and connection
  • The power of kindness, remembrance, and even stillness on hard days
  • Permission to do what feels right for you—no expectations, no guilt
