In this first part of a two-episode conversation, host Bruce Barker sits down with Kristin, one of the founders and former Executive Director of a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting families who have experienced child loss.

Kristin shares the early chapters of her grief journey and the deeply personal story that led her to create a safe haven for parents in their darkest moments. She reflects on her own loss, the compassion that shaped her work, and the emotional weight of walking alongside countless families over the years.

This episode explores:
• The origins of her grief and the impact of her child’s loss
• How her personal pain led to community support
• The realities of supporting grieving parents day after day
• The heart, strength, and vulnerability behind her leadership

Part One lays the foundation of Kristin’s powerful story.

Part Two continues the conversation as she explores what comes after years of serving others.
