Life After Child Loss

There are always things we want to change in our lives. 

Right after the loss, we want to feel better. We want to enjoy things again, and we have difficulty believing it's possible. 

Change is possible, but it doesn't happen overnight when changing our beliefs and thought patterns. Instead, it's a gradual four-phase process that starts with a simple belief that it's possible.

Why is it important to talk about the inner critic? First, having a strong inner critic makes your grief experience even harder by constantly having to question whether you are doing it right. 

Second, constant questioning leaves no space for the grieving because of being on a continuous self-improvement hamster wheel. 

Listen to the episode to discover three steps to handle your inner critic.

Every year there are certain calendar events. Some of these calendar and life events make us miss our children even more than usual. 

This is the time of the start of the new school year,  and it triggers so many of us. 

It's important to acknowledge that we have these feelings, recognize them and not feel guilty about them. 

Instead of "shoulding" yourself to be someone you are not capable of being, learn about four things that will help you get through this time and similar events in a way that supports your grief journey.

I had a bad day and almost decided to skip recording my podcast this week. 

But after giving it some thought, I decided that instead of feeling bad about my bad day, I'm going to share with you - what it means to have a bad day and how to handle them. 

Sometimes choosing the momentary discomfort leads to getting over a bad day faster if it's done thoughtfully, leaning into the things you know about yourself and what makes you feel better.

Why do some parents recover after losing their child and some don't? 

It's not because some parents are special.
It's not because they didn't love their children. 

It all comes down to how you think about your life after the loss. 

Surprisingly, positive thinking is not helpful in recovery. Quite the contrary, it might get in the way.

Am I supposed to be better by now? 

It is the question we often ask ourselves, especially in the context of other people moving on and us still feeling lost, sad and angry and not willing to continue without our child. 

We are bothered by this question because we also believe to some degree that we should be better by now, and we are not. 

Listen to this episode to learn how to find peace with this question and not be bothered by what other people think about our journey.

It's only natural to feel out of control after you lose your child. 

The reason why you feel out of control isn't that you have less control now than you did before your child died. It's' because you are spending so much energy focused on what you can't' control, and so you lose the ability to see what you can control. 

You don't have to control everything to feel in control of your life. You just need to know the difference between what you can control and what you cannot and adjust your focus accordingly.
