    Episode 75 | Is there anything that will help my grief?
    Apr 28 2026
    Is there anything that will help my grief? We've all be there. In fact, you might be there now. Things seem like they will never get better. Grief does that to us. Those of us who are no strangers to it know that it takes a LONG (very long!) time to rebuild our lives and start pulling ourselves out of the funk.

    The good news is that there is a lot we can be doing to help restore our weary souls. Tune in to hear some of the things that have worked for me. After nearly 11 years, I can finally say that I'm in a much better place emotionally. You will get there.

  • Episode 74 | What is the "new normal?"

    Episode 74 | What is the "new normal?"
    Apr 21 2026
    The elephant in the room is that we are not the same after losing a child. NOTHING is the same, nor will it ever be. But there is a point in which we equalize a little bit and we find a place in life when we can breathe again. We call this the "new normal." It's a sort of baseline that we are familiar with.

    So what is your "new normal?" Maybe it's simply the ability to function day-to-day. Maybe it's feeling physically fit again. Maybe it's taking up crocheting or fishing again. Whatever it is, we can get there.

    Episode 73 | What is happening to my family?
    Mar 31 2026
    Do you ever wonder why you family seems to fall apart after the loss of a child? It turns out that you are not alone. When communication breaks down, so can the family. Grief is messy. We all grieve differently, and that can lead to a lot of confusion and hurt feelings within a family. Husbands and wives grieve differntly, and this can lend itself to miscommunication and hurt feelings.

    In this episode, we talk about ways families can communicate better so they can work through their grief together.

  • Episode 72 | The hardest part of grief

    Episode 72 | The hardest part of grief
    Mar 24 2026
    The hardest part about grief is reaching the moment of KNOWING that it is real. For some of us, getting to the point where we know that our child is no longer coming home can take a long time. There is a very clear connection that has to happen between what our heart knows and what our brain denies.

    But once we walk through the hardes part of grief, something begins to slowly change. The days begin to get a little bit brighter, color starts to come back into our grey lives, and we begin to live again. Grief is hard. There is no way around that. But we can walk this journey together. Join us as we walk through this journey with you.

  • Episode 71 | I can't do this, but I have to

    Episode 71 | I can't do this, but I have to
    Mar 17 2026
    When grief feels overwhelming, we feel like we just can't go on doing the things that still need done. The reality is that we need to go on. Ideally, someone will come alongside you and say, "You don't need to do this right now because I've got your back."

    However, many of us don't have a prince charming to come into our lives and do our laundry, cook our meals, and do homework with our kids or grandkids. In this episode, we share ways that we can move forward with our grief, even when it is crippling.

    Mar 10 2026
    Even years after losing a child, life spins out of control. You feel alone. You might be angry. Empty. Tired. Like there's no relief in sight. Inevitably, we ask ourselves, "Am I going crazy?"

    I've asked myself this same question a hundred times. There were days when I felt like people were staring at me as if I were an alien with three heads. The reality is that you're not crazy. . . you just happend to go through an unimaginable, life-changing tragedy.

    In this episode, we talk about what these days might look like to you and how you might just be a lot more normal than you think!

  • Episode 69 | No time frame for the hurt to subside

    Episode 69 | No time frame for the hurt to subside
    Mar 3 2026
    We all are desperate for the pain and hurt to go away after losing a child. For the longest time we feel "numb," barely able to get by. We desperately want to know when we will turn the corner and start feeling more normal again.

    What we leaned is that there is no specific time frame. Each of us is different. We think differently, process giref differently, and our child was wildly unique. Grief takes time, plain and simple. In this episode, we talk about gentle ways we can process through our grief on our own time frame.

  • Episode 68 | Living in the foggy abyss of grief

    Episode 68 | Living in the foggy abyss of grief
    Feb 24 2026
    When we lose a child, we often fall into "the foggy abyss," the place where our mind is in a constant fog and emotions are all over the place. I believe this serves to protect our minds, even though it can be unsettling. How long does it last? That depends.

    We can slip in and out of the fog over the course of years, but that's not all bad news. Once we learn to recognize it, we can navagate and manage our grief better.
