In this episode, Laura shares how to handle milestones after child loss, gently walking grieving parents through the moments that can feel the hardest to face. From birthdays and holidays to unexpected reminders that take your breath away, these “milestones” are not celebrations, but the tender and often painful markers of grief. With compassion and understanding, Laura reframes what milestones mean, reminding listeners that while we never get over them, we do get through them, and over time, they become part of how we learn to live again.
Drawing from personal experience and the shared journey of other bereaved parents, this episode offers practical and heartfelt encouragement for coping with grief milestones after losing a child. With a faith-centered perspective, she reminds listeners that they are not alone, and that even in the most difficult moments, there is growth, grace, and the steady presence of God walking with them.
