What happens to a mother's world when tragedy strikes and she loses a child? Witness the incredible strength and resilience of Dr. Verlonda Jackson, a mother who faced the unthinkable loss of her four-year-old son, Judah. Verlonda’s tragedy and journey of grieving and rebuilding that followed is nothing short of heartrending.

We discuss the following:

  • Maternal guilt
  • The pressure of maintaining appearances
  • The importance of honest conversations with our children. 
  • The significance of giving ourselves grace during difficult times 
  • Not chasing the illusion of a perfect mom. 
  • The pursuit of a new normal in the face of a personal catastrophe
  • Diverse coping mechanisms within a grieving family
  • The ways in which Verlonda’s family and other son navigated their sorrow.
  • The often overlooked concept of 'secondary losses' 
  • The struggle of managing guilt and faith post-tragedy.
