Life After Child Loss: A Parent's Grief

Life After Child Loss: A Parent's Grief

Life After Child Loss is a deeply personal and powerful podcast that explores the raw, unfiltered journey of grief—not just my own, but that of parents around the world who have lost a child for reasons as varied as they are heartbreaking. This is the kind of grief many don’t understand and most shy away from. But here, we talk about it—honestly, openly, and with nothing off limits. It’s an in-depth look at what it really means to keep living after unthinkable loss. Walk with me as I share the twists and turns, the highs and heartbreak, of learning to move beyond mere survival. Together, we’ll explore what it means to find meaning, purpose, and even joy while carrying the weight of loss—and learning to live again after I buried my son.

In this episode of Life After Child Loss: A Parent’s Grief (Season 6, Episode 3), I’m breaking the silence on what it really costs us to hide our pain, and why giving yourself permission to not be ok is one of the bravest steps you c...

In this Season 5 finale of Life After Child Loss: A Parent’s Grief, I speak directly to my beloved son, Jor'Darrion — through a letter born from dreams, drenched in love, and shaped by the pain of living without him.


This isn’t just a farewell. It’s a promise.

A reflection of how grief has broken me open… and how love keeps me going.
