This podcast episode addresses a common concern among bereaved parents: the fear of forgetting their baby as they heal from grief. Drawing from 25 years of personal experience with baby loss, the host explores topics such as survivor's guilt, the impact of clinging to grief, and the misconception that constant sorrow equates to a stronger connection with the lost child. The episode emphasizes that healing doesn't mean forgetting, but rather growing one's capacity to handle grief. It encourages listeners to find joy again, asserting that it's possible to honor a baby's memory through healing and living life fully. The host provides empathetic guidance, giving listeners "permission" to feel happiness and reminding them that growth is essential and can be a way to honor their baby's memory. The episode concludes by mentioning free resources available on the host's website, aimed at helping stillbirth mothers find peace and hope as they navigate life after loss.
