Yes it’s unpopular and you may not want to hear it… ⤵️

Staying stuck in grief is just as hard as choosing to work through it.

Both hurt—but only one moves you forward.👈🏼

You don’t have to make a massive leap. Just a 1% shift today:

• Take one deep breath before getting out of bed.
• Step outside and feel the sun on your face.
• Speak their name out loud and smile through the tears.

Tiny steps are healing. Pain is not what connects you to your loved one 💔

Choose your hard—with love and intention.

Share this with another grieving heart who needs a gentle nudge 💞

Why Are People So Cruel When You’re Grieving? 💔

Grief makes people uncomfortable. Some don’t know what to say, so they say the wrong thing. Others project their own fears or impatience onto you. And some simply lack the compassion to hold space for deep pain.

But their words do not define your grief , your love for your child, or anything about your grief journey.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m diving into why people can be so unkind—and how to protect your heart when it happens. 🎧💙

Mother’s Day is complicated when your child lives in heaven.💔

It’s a day the world celebrates, while your heart quietly aches. If you’re a grieving mom, I see you. I honour you. And I’m holding space for your love and your pain.

Here are a few ways to care for yourself this Mother’s Day:

♥️ Say no to what doesn’t serve you — it’s okay to opt out

♥️ Make space to honor your child in a way that feels meaningful

♥️ Surround yourself with people who understand or give you room to just be

♥️ Speak their name — out loud, in writing, or in your heart

♥️ Let the tears come, and the love too — both can live together

♥️ Give yourself permission to grieve in your own way and time

You are still a mother. And your child is still so very loved.

5 Unique and Gentle Ideas for Mother’s Day ❤️‍🩹

1️⃣ Hang wind chimes in a peaceful spot — let the sound remind you of their presence and spirit in the breeze.

2️⃣ Decorate a stone with their name or symbols and place it in a quiet space like your garden or by a tree.

3️⃣ Release floating lanterns or flower petals into a lake or stream, as you silently send a message to Heaven.

4️⃣ Start or tend an Angel Garden in your yard or on your deck. Add a new plant or statue every year.

5️⃣ Release ladybugs or butterflies in your yard or nearby park. Google will help you find local suppliers.

Feeling is healing.❤️‍🩹

We can’t heal it if we won’t feel it.

I know it’s tempting to stay busy, push it down, or ‘smile’ through the ache… but grief doesn’t disappear just because we pretend it’s not there. In fact pushing it down will only bite you in the butt.

It waits… and sometimes it festers and grows. But, when we finally make space to feel it? That’s when healing begins.

You don’t have to have it all together.

And you don’t have to do it alone.

Let the tears come.

That’s not weakness. That’s healing ❤️‍🩹

Things I Wish I Had Learned Earlier on My Grief Journey ⤵️

Grief is a lifelong companion, but there are things that can lighten the load. If you’re grieving, I hope this helps you even a teeny tiny bit ❤️‍🩹

Here’s what I wish someone had told me sooner:

🔷 Grief isn’t linear—it’s a lot of ups & downs
🔷 You don’t have to be strong all the time
🔷 Crying doesn’t mean you’re weak
🔷 It’s okay to laugh again
🔷 Triggers can come out of nowhere
🔷 People may not show up how you hoped
🔷 Healing doesn’t mean forgetting
🔷 There’s no deadline for “moving on”
🔷 You’re allowed to say no
🔷 Get support—it makes a difference
🔷 Not everyone will understand, and that’s not your fault
🔷 Memories can be both comforting and painful
🔷 Joy and grief can exist together
🔷 Self-care is not selfish
🔷 Anniversaries, holidays, and random Tuesdays can all be hard. Excruciating.
🔷 You are not alone in this
🔷 Grief changes, but it never truly leaves
🔷 Finding purpose again takes time—and that’s okay

Want more comfort + encouragement? ⤵️

Would that change the way you live your life??

What if joy isn’t the opposite of grief—but part of how we honor the love that never ends?

You don’t have to choose between grief and joy. They co-exist.

Let’s live in a way that keeps love alive. ♥️♥️

Drop a ♥️ if you believe they’re still with you—and smiling.

I couldn’t eat after Katie died 😞

Smoothies were the one thing I relied on for nutrition. And still do.

Fuelling my body helps give me the “strength” to keep going.

Healthy body = healthy mind = better sleep = better coping 🍃 🧘🏻‍♀️

Here’s my recipe: 🥤

1 cup frozen mixed berries
1cup spinach
1 cup almond milk
1Tbsp chia seeds
1Tbsp cocoa (or more)
1Tbsp flaxseeds
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1scoop collagen

Blend and enjoy. ** if you’re menopausal like I am, all the fiber will help counteract some of the symptoms of menopause as well. 👍🏼

What do you do for self-care?

Do you have a favourite smoothie recipe??

Please share your recipe ⤵️

No one warned me how strange grief can be — not just emotionally, but physically, mentally, everywhere.

Some of the weird and wonky symptoms of grief include:

🔸Brain fog: Forgetting why you walked into a room
🔸Random exhaustion: Feeling like you ran a marathon… just getting out of bed
🔸Physical aches: Shoulder tension, stomach knots, chest tightness
🔸Mood swings: Laughing one minute, sobbing the next
🔸Weird dreams: Vivid, emotional, and sometimes unsettling
🔸 Zero patience: Tiny things can feel overwhelming
🔸 Anxiety spikes: Feeling jumpy, restless, or panicky for no obvious reason
🔸 Detachment: Like you’re watching life happen instead of living it

Grief doesn’t just break your heart — it rattles your whole system.

You’re not broken. You’re grieving.

If you’re navigating this messy, complicated grief journey, know that you’re not alone.❤️‍🩹

Follow along for more encouragement and support.

If you’ve heard those words while grieving, you know how much they can sting. 💥

The truth is—most people don’t say it to be cruel. They say it because they’re uncomfortable with pain they can’t fix. They want you to be “okay” again… for them. ❤️‍🩹

But grief doesn’t have a timeline. And moving forward is not the same as moving on.

In this week’s episode of the Grief & Child Loss Support for Moms podcast, I’m sharing exactly how to deal with these kinds of comments—what to say, how to protect your heart, and how to stay grounded in your own healing. ✅

Grief brings pain we never asked for… 😞

BUT…tucked between the heartbreak and tears are a few unexpected surprises: ⤵️

❤️‍🩹 A deeper appreciation for life’s quiet moments
❤️‍🩹 Stronger, soul-level connections with others (Angel Moms are the BEST friends 💞)
❤️‍🩹 A renewed sense of purpose and compassion
❤️‍🩹 The ability to feel joy and sorrow at the same time
❤️‍🩹 A fierce love that never fades

These realizations take time. These are life learnings I didn’t want to learn this way but it has made be love deeper, live more fully and strive to be a better human.

Have you discovered any surprises along the way?? Post below ⬇️

You don’t need the right words to support someone who’s grieving.

You just need to show up. 👍🏼

Even if you fumble. Even if you say, “I don’t know what to say.”

Because silence hurts more than awkwardness.

Here’s how to support a grieving friend when words fail:

✅ Say their child’s name—it matters more than you know

✅ Sit beside them without needing to fix anything

✅ Text “I’m thinking of you today” with no expectation for a reply

✅ Drop off a coffee, a meal, or a “no need to answer” card

✅ Keep showing up—grief doesn’t end after the funeral

You don’t have to be perfect. Just present. 💜

Share this to gently teach others how to support grief better.

Grief triggers can come out of nowhere—and when they do, it helps to have a few gentle tools to reach for.

Here are ways to care for yourself when a trigger hits⤵️

✨ Pause and breathe—slow, deep inhales
✨ Name what’s happening (out loud or silently)
✨ Put your hand on your heart and remind yourself: “This is grief. I’m safe.”
✨ Speak their name—say it with love
✨ Let the tears fall without judgment
✨ Step outside and feel the air on your face
✨ Write it down—what triggered you, what it brought up
✨ Text someone who gets it
✨ Give yourself grace—you’re allowed to still hurt

You’re not “back at the beginning.” You’re just having a human moment of missing someone you love.💔

If this helped you, save it for the hard days—and share it with another grieving mama who needs a little comfort today.♥️

In a world that often rushes towards the next chapter, it's essential to remember that your healing journey is uniquely yours.

Don’t let anyone pressure you into 'moving on' before you're ready. Each experience shapes us, and the timelines we follow should reflect our individual needs, not societal expectations.

Embrace the process, honour your feelings, and trust that it's okay to take your time. Your grief is valid, and moving at your own pace is a sign of strength, not weakness.

What to Say Instead of “You Need to Move On” ⤵️

Telling someone to move on after loss isn’t helpful—it’s hurtful. 💔

Here are better, more compassionate things to say to someone who is grieving:

Instead, try…

🩵 “I’m here with you, no matter how long it takes.”

🧡 “It’s okay to feel this way. Your grief is valid.”

💜 “Tell me about them. I’d love to hear their story.”

💛 “There’s no timeline. You get to grieve at your pace.”

💚 “You never have to move on—grief lasts forever just like love lasts forever.”

❤️ “I don’t know exactly how you’re feeling, but I know you are doing the best you can, and that’s more than enough.”

Grief doesn’t have an expiration date. Let’s shift the way we show up for each other.♥️

Some days, it’s tough to hear other parents complain about the very things we wish we still had—the noise, the chaos, the mess, the hard.

We get it—parenting is hard.

But when your child isn’t here anymore, even the hard parts seem sacred.💔

If you’ve ever felt that sting, you’re not alone.

Drop a heart if you’ve been there too. ❤️‍🩹

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.

Maybe our children are looking down from heaven, beaming with pride—for how we keep going, keep loving, keep living. 😇

They see it all. And they’d be so proud of you. 🩷

Tell me… what do you think your child would be most proud of today? ⤵️

Choosing to live in spite of loss is the hardest thing you will do after losing a child.

You may feel like you are leaving your child behind....but I guarantee you that this will NEVER happen. You could laugh every minute of the day and throw parties every single night and you will NEVER, EVER forget your child.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙨𝙠 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨: 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙉𝙊𝙒, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙛.

The question I always comes back to is this: If it was me that died and I was watching my family, how would I want them to live? The answer is easy for me. I would want my kids and my husband to chase their dreams, do fun things, do kind things, and love others with all their hearts.

So that is the way I choose to live my life now. It my way of honouring Katie ❤️

The grocery store can be one of the hardest places after loss. 😳

You think it’ll be a quick trip… then you’re crying in the produce aisle. 🍎

Here are a few gentle tips that might help:

Tips to Navigate Grocery Shopping While Grieving:

🔹 Try a different store.
A new layout can lessen emotional landmines and avoid familiar memories.

🔸 Shop during quiet hours.
Early mornings or weekday afternoons are less overwhelming than busy weekends.

🔹 Bring a support buddy.
A friend or family member can offer emotional backup (or do the talking if you can’t).

🔸 Shop online or do pickup.
Minimize triggers and avoid crowds by letting someone else do the navigating.

🔹 Make a small list.
Stick to just a few essentials—grief is draining, and this isn’t the time to overdo it.

🔸 Wear sunglasses.
Yes, even inside. They give you a little privacy if tears start flowing.

Be gentle with yourself. Even this—just getting groceries—is part of grief. 🩷

New name, new cover… SAME heart.♥️

The podcast just got a makeover — and it’s all about helping more moms like you find the support they need in the darkest moments of grief. ❤️‍🩹

Not everyone identifies with the term “Angel Mom” — and I get that…

So I made the name and cover more clear + discoverable, so more grieving moms can find the hope and answers they’ve been searching for. 👩🏻

But don’t worry — you’ll still get the same helpful and heartfelt content you’ve come to love:

🩷 Tips to help you navigate the hard days
❤️ Tools to carry both grief and joy
🧡 Real talk from moms who get it
💛 Expert insights from me, a certified grief educator
💚 Stories of healing, heartache, and resilience
🩵 Education that validates what you’re feeling and offers support that actually helps

So there have a few minor changes on the surface, but the support is still the main focus. 🙂

Grief isn’t what most people think it is…

❌ It’s not just sadness.
❌ It’s not a linear timeline.
❌ It’s not something you just “get over.”

Here’s what it actually feels like:

👉🏼 A wave that hits out of nowhere
👉🏼 A longing that never fully leaves
👉🏼 A mix of love, pain, memories & meaning
👉🏼 A journey that lasts a lifetime

You’re not broken—you’re grieving.
