In this heartfelt follow-up conversation, Maria is joined by three grieving mothers—Leah (Tom’s mom), Stephanie (Joziah’s mom), and Norma (Junior’s mom)—as they continue sharing what life looks like after child loss, especially as the holidays approach.

( Betsy - Cheka's mom was not feeling well & unable to be a part of the interview but we do mention her in this episode)

They speak openly about surviving day by day, honoring their children in meaningful ways, navigating the pressure to “perform” grief, and expanding the definition of motherhood and loss to include miscarriage, abortion, and infertility grief. This episode offers real, compassionate insight for grieving parents, loved ones supporting them, and anyone seeking to understand child loss with more sensitivity.

In This Episode, You’ll hear:
* Updates on each mom’s grief journey since the first episode
* Why grief doesn’t “get easier”—you learn to live with it
* A powerful conversation: Does miscarriage grief count? (Yes. Always.)
* How holiday traditions change after child loss—and why there is no “right way”
* Different ways these moms honor their children
*The reality that grief affects relationships, and why support matters
*The “permission” so many grieving moms need to hear
* Leah shares her new podcast: “Still Here: A Shattered Heart’s Oasis”
