Finding Meaning After Child Loss: How Joy and Grief Can Co-Exist

The loss of a child changes everything.

It reshapes your identity.
It shifts your relationships.
It alters the way you experience the world.

In this episode, I share my personal story about my son, Jack, and how I began to find meaning in my life again, not by “moving on,” but by learning how to carry both grief and love at the same time.

We explore:

• How joy and grief can co-exist without canceling each other out
• What it means to create a living legacy for your son or daughter
• Why finding your tribe matters more than ever
• How to ask your child for signs, and recognize them
• Remembering that love doesn’t end with physical death

This conversation is honest. It’s grounded. And it’s a reminder that connection doesn’t disappear, it evolves.

If this resonates with you, I’m also hosting a live masterclass, Connecting with Your Child in Spirit, where we’ll go deeper into how connection actually works after child loss, why it can feel inconsistent, and how to stay open in a way that feels safe and grounded.
