61. 10 Unspoken Truths about Child Loss & Grief

In this deeply honest and compassionate episode, Lisa shares the 10 unspoken truths every grieving mother carries — the ones we often feel but rarely say out loud. Through personal stories about her daughter Katie, relatable grief moments, and practical tools, this episode helps you feel seen, understood, and validated no matter where you are on your grief journey. You’ll learn why grief feels so confusing, why emotions collide, why triggers hit out of nowhere, and why you are forever changed — and you’ll walk away with supportive strategies, grounding practices, and gentle reminders that you are not walking this path alone.

Key Takeaways

• Your grief responses make sense — from conflicting emotions to sudden waves to feeling protective of surviving children.
• You are not the same person after child loss — and that is both normal and expected.
• Talking about your child is healing, not harmful — and you’re allowed to keep their name alive.
• Grief comes in cycles and layers, not straight lines — and some days will feel harder than others.
• Love remains the foundation, long after the world expects you to “move on.”
