#198 Grief Changes Everything—Especially You: Finding Yourself Again After Child Loss

You don’t feel like the same person anymore—and that’s not just in your head.
When your child died, it didn’t just break your heart—it broke your identity.

In this episode of The Grief Mentor podcast, we’re talking about something most grieving moms don’t expect: the identity crisis that follows child loss. From the outside, you might look the same—but inside, nothing feels familiar.

This episode will help you:

• Understand why even your faith feels different after loss

• Recognize the disorientation that comes when your roles, routines, and relationships shift

• Acknowledge the pressure to “go back to normal”—and why that’s not possible

• Learn why naming where you are right now is the first step forward

• Discover the three phases of identity loss after child loss—and what it means to grow into who you’re becoming

You don’t need to go back to who you were.
But you do need space to find out who you are now.
