My child died. I want to talk about my grief.

Today we discuss the importance of changing the cultural conversation surrounding the loss of a child. Once again I had the not unique experience of telling another person that I had lost a child. All conversation stopped. I am used to this response but why should I be used to it? As a community, we can change our society by telling our stories about our grief. Listen in as I discuss how to do this.  If you would like to come on my podcast and share your story reach out to my Instagram, Facebook, or Grieving Insomniacs@gmail.com 

Bio:

I was living the average life. I was married with two children working in a profession that I loved. On June 19. 2011 that life was destroyed and I became another person. My oldest son died unexpectedly. My son did not die from cancer. Chemotherapy killed him. It is a common experience, but I didn’t know that then. I thought that chemotherapy was going to save him. Almost immediately I felt betrayed by my profession because I was a counselor. I should have known how to handle his death. The loneliness started almost immediately. I felt so alone. I stopped sleeping and the people around me began to disappear. I knew I need community. 10 years later I am finally in a place where I am trying to build the community that I so desperately needed when Christopher first died. We can’t change that our children died, but we can help each other through it. Join me in creating a community for grieving mothers to share our stories with each other creating a sacred space for authentic grieving.

It is my mission for the podcast to provide grieving mothers everywhere a safe, sacred space where their grief is accepted. It is through the podcast that the culture of silence that surrounds the grief of the mother will be dismantled, and a culture of support will be created. It is our vision to create a community where we can share our questions, and concerns, and support each other.

I am here and I am listening. I am honored to hear your story.
