What if a shared journey through loss could spark an inspiring platform that brings healing to countless others? Welcome to the eighth season of "Bereaved But Still Me," where our personal stories intertwine with hope and resilience. Join me, Michael LIben, alongside my dear friends and colleagues, executive producer Anna Jaworski and producer Nancy Jensen, as we explore the birth and evolution of our podcast. The bonds we formed years ago, nurtured through parenting children with congenital heart defects, have created a sanctuary for bereavement support. Together, we honor the memories of our loved ones while fostering a sense of purpose and renewed strength.
Our podcast is more than just a collection of stories; it is a testament to friendship and the power of collaboration. Nancy, who initially joined us as our first guest, now plays a crucial role as a producer, and her journey following the loss of her daughter Jessica highlights the importance of this community. Through personal experiences and shared tears, we have built a platform that not only serves as a vital outlet for grief but also reinforces our connections and shared mission. From the initial sparks of connection via an old-school listserv to our current reach, we reflect on the camaraderie that has driven us forward.
In this heartfelt episode, we invite you to explore the therapeutic dimensions of podcasting with us. Our conversations with professionals like Silke Herwald and cherished friends such as Carter and Faye Mayberry have enriched our understanding of grief and healing. We engage in meaningful discussions on topics ranging from faith to the diverse ways people experience loss. As we expand our horizons to include episodes in multiple languages, our goal remains steadfast: to inspire hope and connection within our ever-growing community.
Thanks to our newest HUG Patron, Ayrton Beatty and long-standing Patrons: Laura Redfern, Pam Davis, Michael Liben, Nancy Jensen, Alicia Lynch, Deena Barber, Carlee McGuire, Carter & Faye Mayberry, and Frank Jaworski. We appreciate you!
