Can you guess what it is?? 👇🏼

It’s that the world will forget my child. 😞

👉🏼 That people will stop saying their name.
👉🏼 That their memory will fade while life keeps moving forward.
👉🏼 That the one who changed everything for me won’t be remembered at all.

Do you worry about this too??

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing what this fear looks like, why it’s so common, and ways we can gently protect our child’s memory 😇

💬 Comment “grief pod” and I’ll DM you the link to listen. 🎧

I know you probably don’t like the word healing.

You’re right—we never fully heal from child loss. And that word can feel like a slap in the face when the pain is still so raw.

But I do believe we can learn to manage our grief better.
We can learn to carry it differently.
We can live again—and to me, that IS a kind of healing.

It’s been almost 10 years since I lost my daughter.
Most days, I’ve found peace, but the journey here wasn’t easy.

I’d be honored to walk with you through yours. ❤️‍🩹♥️

➤ Follow along for hope, honesty, and encouragement.

One of the best tools for calming the nervous system is breath work, BUT if you are like me, calming your mind while grieving can seem impossible and frustrating.

That's why I created this short GUIDED meditation to help you. Listen to it anytime you need to bring your anxiety, grief, and pain down a notch or two, like before bed.

I didn’t want joy.
I wanted her.
Her laughter. Her voice. Her life.

In those early days of grief, the idea of feeling joy again felt impossible — even offensive.
Joy felt like a betrayal.
Like I was letting go…
Moving on.
Forgetting.

NOW, I still want Katie back, but choose to live for her and in spite of everything. I think it’s the best way to honour my daughter 😇

And here’s what I also know:

Grief doesn’t cancel out joy.
And joy doesn’t erase grief.
They can both live in me.
One doesn’t dishonour the other.

Finding joy again wasn’t about forgetting my daughter — it was about remembering her with my whole heart, and choosing to live in a way that honours both her life and mine.

If you’re here too — standing in the space between pain and possibility — you’re not alone.

This week’s podcast episode is all about finding joy after child loss and how to do it.

Grief isn’t a phase — I wish it were. That would mean that there’s an end.

It’s been nearly 10 years since my daughter died, and people still expect me to be “over it.”

But how do you get over losing a piece of your heart?

Grief doesn’t end. It changes though.
It becomes quieter, then louder again.

Grief became part of who I am because I loved her that much.

Grief isn’t a phase. It’s a lifelong companion. And I’ve learned how to carry it and live with it.

If you’re carrying it too, I made something to help on the hard days.

Things I wish people wouldn’t say to a grieving mother:

💬 “Everything happens for a reason.”
💬 “At least you have other children.”
💬 “God needed another angel.”
💬 “You’re so strong—I couldn’t do what you’re doing.”
💬 “Aren’t you feeling better yet?”

Even when said with love, these words can sting.
Grieving moms don’t need clichés or silver linings.

We need our child remembered.
We need gentle presence, not quick fixes.

If you’ve ever felt unseen or misunderstood in your grief, you’re not alone.

“How many kids do you have?” 😳

It’s such a simple question.
But for grieving moms, it’s one of the hardest.

At a Canada Day gathering, someone new asked me that. I said “two” like I always do—but then tried to distract with a story about my son.
Most people politely go along with it.
But not this guy. He circled back and gently said, “You said you have two kids…”

And just like that, my heart was in my throat. 💔
Because I do have two. One here. One in Heaven.
But explaining that to someone new is never easy, because it’s painful. And complicated. And sometimes, I just don’t want to cry over chips and dip at a BBQ.

To every grieving parent who dreads that question:
You’re not alone. There’s no right way to answer.
And however you respond in the moment is okay.
Your child still counts. Always.

💬 Have you ever struggled with this question?
You’re safe to share here. 🤍

Grief is more than sadness. ⤵️

It touches every part of who we are—physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
And many grieving moms are shocked by the symptoms no one talks about.

💔 Here are lesser-known symptoms of grief you might not expect:

🧠 Mental:
• Forgetfulness or “grief brain” (struggling to focus)
• Trouble making even small decisions
• Sudden fear of something happening to others
• Vivid dreams or nightmares
• Feeling like you’re in a fog or outside your body

💔 Emotional:
• Irritability over small things
• Guilt for smiling or laughing
• Emotional numbness
• Sudden waves of anger or jealousy
• Loss of joy in things you used to love

🫀 Physical:
• Heaviness in your chest or body
• Fatigue that no amount of sleep helps
• Aches, stomach pain, or headaches with no clear cause
• Changes in appetite or digestion
• Cold sensitivity or feeling shaky

🤍 Spiritual:
• Feeling disconnected from God or your beliefs
• Questioning everything you once knew
• Intense yearning for signs or dreams
• Anger at a higher power
• Searching for meaning in everything

👥 Social:
• Avoiding social events or conversations
• Feeling misunderstood or out of place
• Being overwhelmed by small talk
• Anxiety in group settings
• Pulling away from friends and family who “don’t get it”

💌 If this resonates, join my weekly Comfort Connection email for grieving moms. Gentle support, tips, and reminders that make the hard days just a little lighter.

“How are you?” 💔

It’s the question every grieving mom dreads.
We hear it all the time—well-meaning, polite, automatic.

But how do you answer that when your heart is shattered?

We usually say “I’m fine.”

Not because we are… but because it’s easier than making someone uncomfortable with the truth.

💬 What if instead, people asked:
— “You’ve been on my mind and in my heart”
— “I’ve been thinking of you”
— “It’s good to see you”

Words matter. And connection matters even more.

Death has already taken too much. 💔

So today, I’m choosing to keep going.

On the days I can, I try to smile sometimes and find joy again.

Not because it’s easy, but because my child’s life mattered.

And Im not letting death win. ❤️‍🩹

We are allowed to grieve and grow at the same time.

💔 To a grieving mother, hearing our child’s name is everything.

We know it feels awkward for you—we see the hesitation, the pause—but please say their name anyway.

It reminds us they lived, they mattered, and they are still deeply loved. Silence can hurt more than saying the wrong thing.

✨ If you’ve lost a child, you’re not alone. Comment their name below so we can speak it together. Let’s keep their memory alive. 💕

Unpopular opinion 👇🏼
“Moving forward” in grief doesn’t always mean moving at all.

Sometimes healing looks like standing still in your sorrow with strength.

Your strength might look like:

✨ Going to therapy
✨ Crying all the way to work
✨ Being triggered at the grocery store
✨ Choosing to feel instead of numbing out

This is all grief navigation. It’s baby steps and it’s moving forward in its own right.

“Moving forward” in grief doesn’t always mean moving at all.

Sometimes healing looks like standing still in your sorrow with strength.

Your strength might look like:

✨ Going to therapy
✨ Crying all the way to work
✨ Being triggered at the grocery store
✨ Choosing to feel instead of numbing out

This is all grief navigation. It’s baby steps and it’s moving forward in its own right.

💔 Who am I now?

It’s a question so many grieving moms ask.

When your child dies, it feels like you disappear too. The life you knew is gone. The version of you that once existed—joyful, hopeful, sure—feels like a stranger.

Everyday things feel confusing. Simple decisions feel hard.

And you wonder if you’ll ever feel normal again.

If this is you, please know: you are not alone. So many of us are walking this same road, one uncertain step at a time.

If you need gentle encouragement, practical tips, and a little hope to hold onto, my Comfort Connection newsletter was made for you.

Being a grieving mom is so unpredictable…😵‍💫

One minute I’m okay, the next I’m on the floor.
Turns out I’m normal — and so are you. 💔

Grief is wild, and here’s what it can look like:

• Smiling at a friend, then sobbing in the car
• Craving connection — and instantly wanting to be alone
• Laughing at a show, then guilt crashing in
• Hating holidays (even though you used to love them)
• Avoiding baby showers, birthday parties, and “happy” people
• Feeling angry at people who “don’t get it”
• Forgetting everything and feeling like you’re losing your mind
• Longing to talk about your child — but scared others are tired of hearing about them
• Being fine all day… until something random knocks you over

It’s grief. It’s love that has nowhere to go.

✨ You’re grieving.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

Grief doesn’t wait for a quiet moment. ⤵️

It hits in the middle of vacations, crowded resorts, and picture-perfect days. Triggers can sneak up anywhere—a song, a smell, a memory—and suddenly you’re back in the deepest pain you thought you’d escaped.

This is grief and triggers are normal.

🎧 This week’s podcast is all about unexpected grief triggers and how to handle them.

My grief goal isn’t just to survive.

It’s to live a life that would make my child in heaven so incredibly proud. 🤍

I carry her love in everything I do.
In how I show up.
In how I keep going.
In how I choose joy—when I can—and grace when I can’t.

🩷🩵 How are you making your child proud of YOU??

You expect the tears.
But no one warned you about this part of grief… 😔

Here are some lesser-known symptoms of grief that can catch you off guard:

🧠 MENTAL:
• Brain fog
• Forgetfulness
• Trouble making even tiny decisions

💔 EMOTIONAL:
• Sudden irritability
• Numbness
• Feeling guilty for laughing

😵‍♀️ PHYSICAL:
• Exhaustion
• Body aches or chest tightness
• Loss of appetite (or eating all the carbs)

🧘‍♀️ SPIRITUAL:
• Questioning everything
• Feeling disconnected from your beliefs
• Wondering if your child can see you

👥 SOCIAL:
• Avoiding people who “mean well”
• Feeling invisible or misunderstood
• Wanting connection but having no energy for it

Sound familiar?

Some places just feel more comfortable after loss.

The grocery store is filled with landmines—favorite snacks, birthday candles, aisles where memories live. But the book store? Quiet, calm, and comforting. Nor as many reminders.

This is why it is said that OUR grief is the worst grief of all.

Do you agree?

… The “perfect” storm ⚡️ 🌧️

And honestly? Some days I don’t even recognize myself anymore.

Grief broke me open.
Midlife stretched me thin.
Burnout made me numb.

And no one was talking about how all three collide.
So I’m starting the conversation.

If this is you, stick around because I’ll be digging into this more as I move forward.

Share this with someone who might be in this place too.

I’m doing a RESET and want to invite you along for the ride. 🎢

Katie’s birthday is still a day to celebrate since it marks the day I got to meet my girl 💝

Even though she’s not here to celebrate it, I still like to do something in her memory.

This year we started with Starbucks (her favourite), picked up new plants for her Angel Garden, and brought donuts to the funeral home — a small thank you to the place that held us in our deepest grief.

I’ve learned that having a plan helps.
Doing something kind for someone else helps.
Avoiding it never did.

If you’re wondering how to honour your child’s birthday or Angel anniversary, I’ve put together a list of meaningful ideas.

💬 Comment the word BIRTHDAY and I’ll send the link to your DMs. Allowing you can make space for love and remembrance in a way that feels right to you. 🤍
