S3 E7- Child Loss: Grieving What Was Never Supposed To Happen

There are some losses that change a person forever. And child loss is one of them. In this deeply personal episode of Sacred Arc, we explore the unimaginable reality of losing a child...including sudden loss, illness, miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, losing an only child, and grieving while still parenting surviving children. Kimberley also shares personal reflections about her son, Isaac, her best friend and "mini me", and the profound loneliness that can exist after child loss, especially when watching the world continue moving around you. Whether your child lived for moments, years, or decades.... whether your loss was recent or long ago...your grief belongs here too. A Gentle Reminder Love does not depend on how long someone lived. Your child mattered. Their life mattered. And your grief is a reflection of love that still exists. Support If this episode resonates with you, you are always welcome here.

S3 E4 - Mothers Day Grief Companion

Mother’s Day can be beautiful. But for many people… it can also be incredibly painful. In this special episode, recorded on Mother’s Day itself, I talk about the complicated reality of grief during a holiday centered around motherhood, family, love, and connection. This episode is for: * the people grieving their mothers * the mothers grieving children * those carrying complicated relationships * those struggling with infertility or longing * and anyone quietly surviving a day that feels heavy emotionally This episode was created to sit beside the people carrying grief today and remind them they are not alone. A Gentle Reminder There is no right way to survive a grief-heavy holiday. Some people need connection. Some need solitude. Some need tradition. And some need to stay in bed and cry. All of it is valid. Support If this episode resonates with you, you are always welcome here.

S3 E3 - Losing a Grandparent

For many people.... losing a grandparent is the first experience of grief. But, it's not always treated that way. Because it's expected. "Part of Life." Because people often assume it should be easier to process. In this episode, we talk about what this kind of loss actually feels like, beyond what people say about it. The connection grandparents often represent. The way their presence shapes our lives, and the quiet ways grief can show up later when it wasn't fully processed at the time. Content Note This episode includes themes of grief, loss and family dynamics. Some parts may feel familiar or bring things up in different ways.
