What do we experience when we are facing the reality of loss? Certainly our mind, body, and spirit react to grief. We often get forgetful, tired, depressed, and can experience chronic health issues. We also question why God could allow the death of a child. These are all things that we wrestle with. In this episode we talk about what those experiences can look like. If you've experienced fatigue, depression, and questioning everything about your loss, you are definitely not alone!

After we lose a child and the dust settles, it can feel like nobody cares. Their lives go back to normal while our world is completely shattered. In this episode we talk about healthy vs unrealistic expectations that we can place on our friends after we lose a child. Oftentimes it's not that people don't care, it's that they don't have the bandwidth to help us to the degree that we might need at the time. 

We will talk about how to decipher whether someone really doesn't care or whether something else is going on in their lives.

When we lose a child, we almost immediately find ourselves falling into what we call the valley of despair. Suddenly light goes dark, a thick fog settles in, and monstrous mountains seem to dominate us, making us feel like we will never be able to ascend to their tops. It's difficult to navagate life when we are in the valley because everything is new and there are lots of unknowns. 

In this episode we discuss what it is like to enter into the valley and what we can expect. It's certainly something that we all experience, so knowing a little bit more about it will help us to understand what we are experiencing.

The day after my son died was a blur. The whole family showed up and as we were making funeral plans kids were outside playing. It was two contrasting moods. As our world stopped, life still had to move forward. Mouths had to be fed and we had to process what had just happened together. Fortunately, we found a strong support system within our family that got us through that day. And the following days. 

Grief hits hard and we really need people to hold our hands through the process. Without that support system the harshness of death is magnified. In this episode we share the importance of being present with grieving people.
