Fighting For Joy

Episode 49: Grieving through "set apart" days: Jackson's 25th birthday


Listen Later

Last month Jackson would’ve turned 25. Every April 12th without our boy here is painful (we’ve endured 9 of them now) but his 25th birthday felt especially tender. On this episode, Eric and I candidly talk through some of the ways we processed this milestone birthday. Often these “set apart” days bring unique challenges and extra heartache for those in grief. This one certainly did for us.

  • Here is a link to the article that Eric mentioned he wrote about processing his lament:
