14. Child Loss & Grief: Why the Second Year Can Feel More Overwhelming


Listen Later

The second year after losing a child often catches grieving mothers by surprise. While the first year is marked by shock and numbness, the second year can feel even harder as the reality of your loss sinks in. In this heartfelt episode, we explore the unique challenges of the second year, sharing insights, stories, and practical advice to help you navigate this emotional terrain. If you've ever felt like the grief becomes heavier when others expect you to "move on," this episode will offer the validation and support you need.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • How the reality of child loss can intensify in the second year.
  • The emotional impact of secondary losses and the dreams that remain unfulfilled.
  • Why support networks often dwindle after the first year—and how to find understanding connections.
  • Strategies for coping with the triggers and complex emotions that arise in year two.
