80. What’s Normal in Grief After Child Loss?

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Am I doing this grief thing wrong?”—this episode is for you. For the mom who feels all over the place… or completely numb. For the one who can’t sleep… or can’t get out of bed. In this episode, we’re talking about what “normal” actually looks like after child loss—and why everything you’re experiencing, no matter how messy or inconsistent, is far more common than you think. You’ll walk away feeling validated, understood, and a little less alone in the chaos of grief.

Key Takeaways

• What “normal” grief really looks like (and why it’s nothing like you expected)
• Why numbness, anger, anxiety, and even brief moments of joy are all part of the process
• The truth about the “stages of grief” and why your experience doesn’t follow a timeline
• How grief shows up in your body, relationships, and everyday moments
• Why asking “Why me?” or replaying the past is a natural response—even if it’s not where you want to stay
