For the mom whose world changed the day she lost her child—this episode is for you.
Whether your loss was recent or decades ago, through miscarriage, stillbirth, illness, accident, or sudden tragedy, your grief is real, your love is holy, and you are not alone.

In this gentle, slow-paced episode, counselor and host Elisha holds space for the kind of grief that doesn’t have words. You’ll be lovingly guided through validation, comfort, and a few simple practices to help your nervous system breathe again—without rushing your healing or minimizing your pain.

In this episode, we explore:

• The lie that you “should be over it by now” and why grief has no expiration date
• How your love for your child continues, even after loss
• A simple “heart-holding” breathing practice you can do anytime the waves of grief hit
• Gentle ways to honor your child’s memory through ritual, story, and everyday life
• Why it’s okay to laugh, smile, or have a good day—and why that doesn’t mean you’re forgetting

This is a sanctuary episode: no pressure, no fixing, no spiritual bypassing—just compassionate presence for your heart, your story, and your body.

If today is a hard day—an anniversary, a birthday, a due date, or simply a day where the ache is sharp—please know: there is nothing wrong with you. Your grief is a measure of your love.

If you are in immediate emotional crisis, please reach out to a trusted person, counselor, or crisis line in your area. You do not have to carry this alone.
