45. 12 Things I Wish I Knew About Grief and Child Loss

Grief after losing a child is unlike any other pain—it’s life-altering, lonely, and filled with moments no one prepares you for. In this episode of The Angel Moms Podcast, I share some of the hidden truths about grief and child loss: the moments that take you by surprise, the ways your world permanently shifts, and the strength you never knew you had.

Whether you’re a bereaved mom yourself or walking alongside someone who is, these insights can bring comfort, validation, and hope. You are not alone on this journey.

Key Takeaways:

• How grief doesn’t follow a timeline—and why it’s normal to feel “stuck” years later.
• How everyday moments can trigger tidal waves of emotion (even when you least expect it).
• How friendships and family dynamics shift after the loss of a child.
• How grief can open unexpected pathways to resilience and even joy.
• How to carry grief and healing side by side without feeling guilty.
