    Episode 45 | Our hearts go out to the Texas flood victims
    Jul 8 2025
    The Texas floods on July 4th were a horrific chain of events that led to loss of life and dozens of missing people. One of the hardest hit locations was at Camp Mystic, an all-girls camp with 750 campers located on the Guadalupe River. The camp is grieving the loss of 27 campers and counselors. It's a pain that too many parents are familiar with--the pain of suddenly losing your child.

    In this episode, we share our compassion and talk about why this story has resonated with all of this nation. Our hearts grieve this deep, deep loss and our prayers are with the many families who are now grieving the death of family members.

  • Episode 44 | Creating a new normal after child loss

    Episode 44 | Creating a new normal after child loss
    Jul 1 2025
    When you've lost a child, the last thing you want to hear about is creating a "new normal." We don't want a new life; we want the one we had with our child. The resistance is real, and the path forward seems impossible. But what if the goal isn't closure, but something quieter and more gentle?

    In this episode of the Silent Grief Podcast, we talk through the tender and difficult steps of finding a way forward after the unimaginable. We acknowledge that it's up to us to take the first step, but also that our hearts will let us know when it's time.

    Join us as we discuss the small beginnings of this new normal—from making new friends and slowing down to smell the roses, to reaching out to help others and letting go of anger. We explore the painful but necessary process of learning to accept that our child is no longer here.

    This journey will never bring you a feeling of closure, but as we share in this episode, it can bring you to a place of quiet peace.

  • Episode 43 | You're not broken, you're surviving--The reality of child loss

    Episode 43 | You're not broken, you're surviving--The reality of child loss
    Jun 24 2025
    In this deeply honest episode of The Silent Grief Podcast, we explore what it’s like to live in survival mode after the devastating loss of a child. This conversation reaches into the raw realities of grief that no one talks about—feeling numb, struggling to breathe, pushing through daily tasks while the world keeps moving forward.

    We talk about the emotional exhaustion and constant effort it takes just to get through the day. For many grieving parents, “thriving” feels like an unreachable idea, and simply surviving is the most they can manage. We also touch on the importance of acknowledging your pain, learning how to function when joy feels out of reach, and recognizing that grief isn’t linear.

    Whether you’ve experienced this kind of loss or want to better understand someone who has, this episode offers a space of compassion, validation, and truth. You're not alone—and there's no shame in surviving one breath at a time.

    Episode 42 | Is there purpose in my pain?
    Jun 17 2025
    Parents who've lost a child all ask "why?" Why my child? Why now? Why did they pass the way that they did? Is there a purpose for my pain? People sometimes use scriptures to make us "feel better," telling us things like "God works all things for good" or "God has a plan for you." These seem more like cliches than deep thoughts.

    Can there be purpose in our pain or is the death of our children a meaningless death--in other words, are we just victims of chance? In this episode we talk about how it might not be helpful to tell people that there was a purpose in the death. There may be a better way forward for grieving parents.

    Episode 41 | Can there ever be closure after losing a child?
    Jun 10 2025
    Can there ever be closure after losing a child? The whole world wants us grieving parents to find closure. They are desperate for it. They tell us things like, "It's time to move on." They ask us why we are still "stuck" in our grief years after our child has passed. If this describes your situation, you are not alone.

    Other people might want us to find closure, but they are not the ones who've lost a child. They aren't the ones picking up the shattered pieces of their own life. You are. Grief is a complicated thing, and maybe we shouldn't be pursuing closure. Instead, we can find ways to honor our child AND our grief that we feel! Tune in to hear just how normal you are in this process we call grief.

    Episode 40 | How to put the pieces back after losing a child

    Is it possible to pick up the pieces of your life after losing a child? What if we told you that it IS possible, but it takes time? Our lives are never the same after losing a child, but that doesn't mean that we have to be shattered forever. If we pick up the pieces, one piece at a time, we can begin to rebuild a life where we are put back together again.

    We will always carry the scars that come from losing our child, but we can be made beautiful again. Join us as we offer hope along your journey.

    Mother's Day is an especially hard time of year for grieving parents. The day that typically celebrates mothers is, for some, a reminder that they no longer have a child to celebrate them as their mother. Many mothers struggle just to make it through Mother's Day because of all the emotions that well up. If you feel that way, you are not alone.

    Clara breaks down what helps her during Mother's Day and how she helps keep her son's memory alive.
