Now, for our episode-- Today, I’m joined by Reshma Kearney — a trauma-informed mindfulness and healing guide who helps people navigate grief and the life transitions after suicide loss with compassion and resilience. After losing her husband, Sean to suicide in 2022, Reshma has chosen to dedicated her life to creating spaces where grief can be honored, healing can be nurtured, and hope can be rediscovered. She works with adults, teens, and children, blending grief education, mental health awareness, mindful parenting, and trauma-informed support to help others live meaningful lives after loss.

Our conversation weaves through resilience, parenting, and the power of mindfulness, including:

  • Age-appropriate ways to talk with kids about difficult topics, including loss
  • How having mindfulness tools in place before her husband’s death — including with her children — shaped their healing journey
  • Parenting through grief and why a child’s outcome is so connected to the resilience of their mom
  • Her husband’s military service, including three deployments, and how that affected his mental health
  • How children’s yoga became a powerful practice during the pandemic and continues to be a foundation in her family’s life
  • Why skills for mourning and grief are different than skills for living and thriving — and how she supports others through one-on-one coaching

This is a heartfelt, real, and hopeful conversation about meeting grief with presence, nurturing resilience, and finding ways to live fully while carrying what we cannot change.
