What does it mean to truly bear someone else’s burden?
Karen Chambers knows firsthand. After experiencing a devastating miscarriage 42 years ago, with no support system to turn to, she founded Bearing Others’ Burdens, a nonprofit that delivers care and comfort bags to individuals facing cancer, miscarriage, infant loss, and bereavement.
In this moving episode, Karen shares:
🧵 The Power of a Bag: How a simple pillow, blanket, or embroidered memory square can say, “You are seen, you are loved.”
💔 Grief Unfiltered: Why phrases like “It’ll be okay” fall short—and what to say (or not say) instead.
✝️ Faith in Action: How Karen’s journey from heartbreak to hope is rooted in her belief that no one should walk alone.
🌎 A National Impact: How her small goal of 15 bags grew to 2,500+ donations across all 50 states.
For volunteers: Learn how to sew, pack, or donate to this grassroots effort.
For grievers: Find solace in Karen’s message: “Your story matters.”
For everyone: Discover how empathy can transform lives—starting with yours.
