About this listen

Those of us who have lost children and loved ones are grieving in silence. The average time off for bereavment is only three days. Life is expected to go on as if nothing happened. There is an expectation to move on and not bring up our dead child's name.

This podcast offers comfort for people who have lost children. We will break the silence and share our difficulties with living without our beloved children. But we don't just share difficulties, our stories are also bound up in hope!Copyright Jimmy and Clara Hinton

    Feb 17 2026
    Grief is never a linear path, but when the loss of a child is met with the absence of a spouse—whether through death or divorce—the mental and emotional strain on the remaining parent can feel insurmountable. Jimmy and Clara break down the unique "trauma triggers" that accompany these major life changes and offer a roadmap for those feeling the heavy pull of isolation.Inside the Episode:
    • The Complexity of Compounded Loss: Understanding how the loss of a spouse dramatically increases the difficulty of navigating child loss.
    • The Weight of the "Remaining Parent": Discussing the mental health strain, emotional overload, and the financial pressures that often follow.
    • Identifying the Triggers: How major life changes spark complex grieving processes and where depression and loneliness often take root.
    • The Support System Checklist: A guide to the five essential pillars for staying grounded:
      1. Professional help from therapists.
      2. Leaning on friends.
      3. Navigating social agencies.
      4. Finding solace in books and shared stories.
      5. The Most Important Factor: Practicing self-care to remain grounded.
    Key Takeaway:"Seek help! Don’t delay, and above all, don’t try to do it alone."

  • Episode 65 | Taking back the lies of survivor's guilt
    Jan 20 2026
    There are many lies that we repeat to ourselves when we are suffering with survivor's guilt: "If I had done somehting different my child would still be alive. . . I should have been more present. . . If only I would have called more my child would still be here. . ." and on they go.

    The reality is that, in most cases, there is very little that we could have done to prevent our child from leaving this earth. Life is unfair, but it's unfair to most of us. The good news is that we can start repainting a brighter picture in our lives. Sure, grief will always be present, but we can start focusing on the positive things in life rather than beating ourselves up for a past that we cannot change.
