If you're wondering how to keep living after losing a child, this episode is for you. Whether your loss is recent or it's been years since your son or daughter died, you may still be asking yourself, "How do I move forward without leaving them behind?" In this deeply personal episode, bereaved mom, Certified Grief Educator, and author Lisa Boehm shares the real stories, hard-earned lessons, and moments that slowly helped her keep living after the death of her daughter, Katie. This isn't about "moving on" or pretending you're okay—it's about discovering that love, grief, hope, and even moments of joy can coexist as you learn to carry your child with you.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • 💛 Why it's possible to keep living after child loss without ever leaving your son or daughter behind.
  • 💛 How grief changes over time—and why the crushing pain of early grief won't always feel this overwhelming.
  • 💛 The small but meaningful practices that helped Lisa navigate life after the death of her daughter, including therapy, walking, connecting with other bereaved moms, and finding purpose.
  • 💛 Why experiencing moments of joy is not a betrayal of your child, but another way of honouring the love you'll always carry.
  • 💛 How creating a legacy and finding compassionate community can help you navigate grief while continuing to love and remember your child.
