Losing a child brings unimaginable pain, and for many grieving mothers, the weight of that loss can lead to overwhelming thoughts of wanting to be with their child again. If you've ever felt this way, please know—you are not alone, and you are not broken. In this deeply personal episode, I share my own experience with suicidal thoughts after losing Katie, why these feelings are more common than we realize, and how to recognize when they become dangerous. If you're struggling to find a reason to keep going, this conversation will remind you that hope and healing are still possible, even in the darkest moments.
