Losing a child changes every part of your life, including your friendships.

Some friends become your greatest source of strength. Others quietly disappear. Many simply don't know what to say.

In this episode of The Grief Guardian Podcast, I share my own experience of how friendships changed after the loss of our daughter, Mia. I talk about the people who stood beside us when we needed them most, those who drifted away, and why grief often reveals the true depth of our relationships.

If you've ever felt abandoned after a loss, or if you're unsure how to support someone who is grieving, I hope this conversation helps.

You don't need perfect words.

Sometimes all someone needs to hear is:

"I'm sorry for your loss."
