If you find yourself replaying the last day of your child’s life — the last conversation, the last hug, the last words — this episode is for you. Lisa speaks directly to grieving moms who are stuck in painful mental loops, wondering if something could have been done differently. In this episode, you’ll learn why "replaying" is such a common part of traumatic grief, what your brain is actually trying to do, and how to gently care for yourself when the spiral begins.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why replaying the past is your brain trying to solve an unsolvable problem
  • The difference between remembering and ruminating — and why it matters
  • How self-blame can feel safer than helplessness
  • Compassionate tools to interrupt the mental loop
