Have you or someone you know lost a child? The grief journey for parents who have lost a child is uniquely difficult and can cause overwhelming feelings of guilt.

Today, I am re-releasing episode 37 where I was joined by Katie Greer. During a trip to Mexico in 2016, Katie’s four-year-old daughter Marissa drowned. This horrific loss led Katie to self-medicating, isolating herself from loved ones, and intense feelings of anger. Upon discovering the Grief Recovery Method, Katie began to accept that grief is a natural and normal response to loss. The Grief Recovery Method impacted her life so deeply that Katie has since become a Certified Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, helping her clients to be emotionally honest and vulnerable along their grief journey. Inspired to focus on grief education, Katie has also founded the Satellite Project to help others heal their trauma and grief.

Tune in to learn about Katie’s inspiring grief recovery journey after the loss of her daughter Marissa.

How have you maintained communication and support with those in your life that have transitioned to the “other side”? There is no one way or “right way”, the only thing that matters is that you lean into what makes you feel most connected.

In this episode, I am joined by the inspiring Joe McQuillin for a second time. Joe’s life was forever changed on a January morning in 2016, when he received a call that his son, Christopher, along with three of his friends, was missing and soon after his body was recovered. Losing Christopher began Joe’s journey through grief, awakening, discovery and acceptance as he began to connect to Christopher on “the other side” through mediums, research and, eventually, direct communication. Joe McQuillin’s first book, My Search for Christopher on the Other Side, and his new book, We Are Not Done Yet, Pops, are incredible tools for anyone going through grief.

Tune in to hear from Joe as he reflects on losing his son Christopher, the different ways he has found connection and communication with Christopher on “the other side”, what led him to writing his newest book We Are Not Done Yet, Pops, the recent shootings in the US, and so much more. If you want to learn more about Joe’s background and his book, My Search for Christopher on the Other Side, check out Episode 11 for his first interview.
