The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

A Roundtable Discussion; 8 Brave Moms Speak about Grief, Healing & their Amazing Kids


Listen Later

Today's episode is 8 x as special --- because you will hear from EIGHT moms, it is A LONG EPISODE SO BUCKLE UP -- but it's soooo worth it!!! These ladies are near & dear to my heart as they are all a part of my all-access membership community. These ladies are between 11 months & 3 years in their journey of life after the suicide loss of their child. This community has absolutely surpassed any hopes I had when I started it... these women interact daily & meet weekly plus they get to peek at products early & gain special discounts as new projects & classes roll out.  They welcome every new mom with tender hearts & open arms.....

Vickie - Calvin (31); Cerita - Gage (17); Kerilyn - Taylor (22); Betty - Tyberius (32); Barb - Donavon (16); Marcie - Kara (23); Crystal - Taylor (18); Rachel -Jane (20)
