On this episode of The Power of Love Show we welcome special guest, Sara J. Cobb. Sara J. Cobb is the founder of ‘My Grief Connection’, a dynamic hub of grief resources and a growing community dedicated to supporting those who are grieving. Her passion for grief and mental health education stems from a blend of personal interests, strengths, and transformative life experiences. Sara's journey to connect fellow grievers with healing resources began after enduring her own devastating losses—the tragic deaths of her two older brothers, 43 years apart—one by a freak accident and the other by a murder-suicide. Through sharing her story of living with sibling loss and trauma, Sara finds purpose in guiding others toward hope and healing. She is a certified domestic violence treatment program facilitator and is pursuing a Master's degree in Counseling at Northwest Nazarene University.

Navigating Stillbirth with “The Grief Closet” Founder Andrea Meyers

On this episode of The Power of Love Show we welcome special guest, Andrea Meyers. Andrea is a stay-at-home mother to six children. In 2021, her fifth baby, daughter Terra, died shockingly and unexpectedly during labor at 38 weeks — which is considered a full term — and was delivered stillborn. Andrea struggled deeply with the death of her daughter and quickly realized how much grief and devastating loss impacted her life, particularly how society often minimizes baby loss. She found it hard to participate in her local community, and everyday tasks became challenging. She noticed how uncomfortable people became when she or her children mentioned Terra's death in conversation. With a background as a preschool teacher and family advocate, Andrea knew that talking about grief was important for her and her living children, who were also grieving the loss of their sister. After a year of processing the grief and trauma of stillbirth, Andrea made connections through social media and began speaking with other mothers who had experienced similar losses, as well as with stillbirth prevention advocates. Through speaking out and writing online, she found a therapeutic outlet, which led to the idea of creating shirts and other items for the grieving, featuring popular phrases and sayings from the perspective of those experiencing grief. The Grief Closet has served as a way to give back to the community and acknowledge others' grief, while also providing Andrea with an outlet for her own pain. It has been the one thing that has felt fulfilling since her daughter's death.
