💔 Parenting is already challenging, but after losing a child, it comes with emotional landmines, overwhelming grief, and the struggle to support your surviving children while healing yourself. In this episode, I share my personal journey after losing my daughter, Katie, and how I continued parenting my teenage son through my own grief.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The emotional challenges of parenting while grieving
• How guilt, fear, and heartbreak impact your parenting style
• Practical strategies to support your surviving children while healing yourself

Key Takeaways:

• Prioritize Your Healing – Taking care of your mental and emotional well-being allows you to be present for your child. Grieving openly but healthily teaches them resilience.
• Create Connection & Stability – Maintain routines, offer reassurance, and carve out quality time so your child feels loved and secure.
• Ask for Help & Accept Support – You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy, support groups, and trusted loved ones can help you and your child navigate grief together.

🌟 You’re doing better than you think, Angel Mom. Parenting after loss is messy and imperfect, but showing up matters.
