This episode is for any mom who has lost a child and feels like grief is still unfolding in unexpected ways. If you’ve noticed that everything has changed, including your identity, relationships, safety, and dreams for the future, this episode is for you. Join host Lisa Boehm as she explores the ripple effects of child loss—those secondary losses that often go unspoken but are just as real and painful.​ Key Takeaways: Loss of identity is a profound shift. You may feel like you're no longer seen as the person you were before the loss.​ Relationships can change or fade away. Friends and family might not know how to support you, leading to feelings of isolation.​ A sense of safety can be shattered. The unpredictability of life becomes more apparent, leading to heightened anxiety and fear.​ Dreams for the future are lost. Milestones and moments you looked forward to are no longer attainable, leaving a void.​
