16. Will I Ever Feel Normal Again? Navigating Grief After Child Loss
Losing a child changes us in ways we never could have imagined, and many grieving moms ask themselves, “Will I ever feel normal again?” In today’s episode of The Angel Moms Podcast, host Lisa Boehm explores the painful reality of this question. Through her own grief journey, Lisa offers insights into how grief reshapes us, and how, even though we may never be the same, we can still find strength, healing, and a new sense of self.
Key Takeaways:
How Grief Changes Everything: Grief is not just about the pain of losing your child—it’s a life-altering experience that changes the way we see the world and ourselves. Lisa reflects on how grief reshapes every part of our being and how, over time, we learn to carry it in a way that allows us to move forward.The Shift to a New Normal: While you may never return to your old self, Lisa explains how it’s possible to create a "new normal." It’s not about erasing the pain or pretending everything is okay; it’s about finding a way to live with the loss and rediscovering moments of light in the midst of grief. You may never feel "normal" again, but you can learn to thrive again in a different way.Healing Through Connection: Grief can be incredibly isolating, but Lisa shares how connecting with others who understand can help you feel seen and supported. Whether it’s through sharing your experience with others or allowing yourself to feel the weight of your emotions, healing comes through both time and the support of a community that truly understands.Resources Mentioned:
