It’s May—and if you’re a stillbirth mom, you already know what that means. Everywhere you turn, there are pastel flowers, smiling babies, and commercials shouting about the “joy of motherhood.” But for you, Mother’s Day might feel more like a punch in the chest than a celebration.

In this episode, I want to offer you something I wish I had in those early days of grief—a practical, powerful tool to get through the hard moments. I call it the HEAL Method. It’s not a magic fix (because there isn’t one), but it is a way to face the triggers that sneak up on you—like the sound of a baby crying in the grocery store or the memory photo that pops up out of nowhere—and come out the other side feeling a little more steady.

I walk you through each step of the HEAL method:

H is for Honor your feelings instead of pushing them down

E is for Engage with something that brings even a little relief

A is for Accept the reality of your grief without giving up hope

L is for Live, Love, or Look forward—because you are still living, and your baby is still part of your story

We talk about real-life examples, including a time I had a full-on grief spiral in a department store bathroom (yep, really), and what I learned from it. This episode is like a warm blanket and a flashlight—it won’t erase your pain, but it will help you feel less alone and a little more prepared.

And if you're dreading Mother’s Day? I have a free workshop for you.
