56. Grief & Child Loss: How Your Identity Changes


Listen Later

This episode of The Child Loss & Grief Support Podcast is for mothers who find themselves wondering who they are after their child has died. When your child is gone, the roles and routines that once defined you disappear, and even simple interactions can feel foreign. In this conversation, Lisa Boehm explores how child loss changes our sense of identity — and how, over time, we can begin to understand who we are becoming. Through real stories, practical reflection, and gentle encouragement, you’ll learn ways to reconnect with yourself while honouring your child’s ongoing presence in your life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • How identity is shaped by the roles we play — and why losing a child disrupts that sense of self.
  • Common experiences bereaved mothers face, including feeling invisible or disconnected from others.
  • How to begin rebuilding a sense of self through quiet reflection and small daily practices.
  • Ways to reintroduce personal interests, creativity, and meaning into life after loss.
  • How to integrate your child’s memory into your evolving identity in healthy, lasting ways.
