In this episode, Grace reflects on the quiet, unexpected grief woven into motherhood. Sparked by viral “last time” videos and her son turning nine, she explores why even beautiful, wanted growth can ache — how every new stage quietly means letting go of another. Grace unpacks the bittersweet paradox of raising children, why we grieve even the hard seasons, and how love and loss are more intertwined than we admit. With warmth and honesty, she offers gentle permission for moms to name their grief, hold gratitude and sadness at the same time, and learn how to grieve well as their children grow.
