Description

Grief after child loss is complicated — and sometimes it shows up as jealousy. If you’ve ever felt a pang of bitterness when seeing graduation photos, wedding announcements, or holiday family pictures, you are not alone. This episode of The Child Loss & Grief Podcast is for bereaved moms who struggle with jealousy, guilt, or anger as the world keeps celebrating milestones their children will never reach. Together, we’ll talk openly about these feelings, why they’re normal, and how to navigate them with grace and compassion.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

  • Why jealousy is in fact a normal part of grief
  • Common grief triggers that lead to jealousy
  • Practical ways to manage jealousy when it shows up
  • Tools for emotional events
