Summer is almost here. And if you are already dreading it — if you can feel it coming before it even arrives — you are not alone. For a mother after child loss, summer is not just a season. It is a calendar full of rhythms that used to mean something. Rhythms that were built around your child. And now that season arrives and everything that used to give it meaning has changed. This episode is for the mom who is standing in the middle of a world shifting into celebration while she is just trying to figure out how to get through the next three months. The mom who sees the graduation parties, the family vacations, the neighbors loading up the car — and feels the weight of everything that is different now. What you are feeling is valid. It is real. And it deserves to be named. In this episode, you'll discover... Why summer hits differently after child loss — and why that is not something you need to push through alone
