89. The Hardest Questions Bereaved Moms Are Asked (And How to Answer Them)

If you've ever frozen when someone asked, "How many children do you have?" or struggled to answer questions like "How are you?" after the loss of your child, this episode is for you. In this compassionate conversation, bereaved mom Lisa Boehm explores some of the hardest questions grieving mothers face and offers gentle guidance on how to answer them in ways that honour your child while protecting your heart. You'll leave feeling validated, empowered, and reminded that there is no perfect response—only the one that feels right for you.

• Why seemingly ordinary questions can feel so painful after child loss—and why your reactions are completely normal.
• How to respond to difficult questions with confidence while protecting your emotional well-being.
• Why boundaries are an important part of grieving and how to set them with compassion.
• How Lisa's "Permission Slips" can help you let go of guilt, trust yourself, and respond in ways that feel right for you.
• The reassuring reminder that there is no "right" way to answer questions after losing a child—only the answer that honours both your grief and your heart.
