Trigger Warning:

This episode includes discussion of the death of a child and may be emotionally difficult for some listeners.

Grief has a way of revealing who can sit in the hard places. In this episode of Because of Eli, we talk about losing a child and how relationships shift in the aftermath of loss.

Love doesn’t end at goodbye—and neither does grief.

This episode of Because of Eli is about holding space—for grief, for curiosity, and for yourself. We welcome a medium to discuss messages often sought in loss, the hope and healing they can bring, and how to navigate grief without losing yourself in it. Alongside this conversation, we focus on self-care as a vital part of surviving and living with loss. Come as you are. Listen with an open heart. Take what you need.

For our Youtube Viewers:

At the close of this episode, we share a slideshow of photos in loving memory of Dakota Scott Beal—a quiet moment to honor his life, speak his name, and hold space for remembrance.

Welcome back! Today we're taking a moment to catch you up on what the last couple of months have looked like for us. We also share a conversation with a special guest who offered some thoughtful guidance on how to talk with children about death. As we move out of the holiday season, we want to acknowledge how heavy this time can be when you're grieving. We hope you found even small moments of comfort or connection, and if not, that's ok too. We're really glad you're here with us!
