In this first half of a two-part conversation, host Bruce Barker talks with Kristin—one of the founders and former Executive Director of a Colorado nonprofit that supports grieving parents.
Kristin opens up about her child, her loss, and the early days of her grief journey. She reflects on how her pain transformed into compassion and why she dedicated herself to walking with families through unimaginable moments.
In this episode:
• The story of her child and the grief that followed
• The beginnings of her nonprofit work
• What it’s like to show up for grieving families
• The emotional labor of holding space for others
• How community and connection help sustain healing
Part Two continues the conversation and explores what comes next after years of serving others.
