Today I speak with Callie about the loss of her first son Coley and how she created a legacy by creating an exhibition at Present Lincoln’s Cottage in Washington, DC. Listen to Callie describing how she learned to intentionally grieve. One thing to definitely look out for in this episode is how she experiences grief loving her back.
Callie says:
‘One thing I wish I had known was that it is still possible to have a relationship with your loved one who has died. It's certainly not a relationship that you anticipate. It's not the relationship that you even necessarily wanted or had dreamed of or could have imagined. It is beautiful all at the same time.’
About this week’s guestCallie Hawkins is a grief activist and bereaved mother whose son, Coley, died of unexplained stillbirth in February 2018 -- one day after his due date. In her professional role as Director of Programming at President Lincoln's Cottage -- a historic site and museum in Washington, DC where President Abraham Lincoln and his family moved after the death of their son, Willie -- Hawkins curated Reflections on Grief and Child Loss, an exhibit that connects the Lincoln family's experience with the deaths of their children with modern families who have lost children across age and experience. Callie, her husband Jason and their living son, Fletcher, live with a deep and abiding love for Coley in the greater Washington, DC area.
