  • Pattie Gallant: Anticipatory Grief

    Pattie Gallant: Anticipatory Grief
    2026/05/11

    There is no handbook for grieving the loss of a child. We learn to grieve exactly where we are. Words of wisdom from Pattie, a bereaved Mom whose son Evan died from cancer at age 21. Pattie shares her anticipatory grief as she prepared for her child’s passing; the complicated guilt of wanting the suffering to end; and the nine year journey of caring for her son, while still parenting a young child. There was so much to share that we produced a two-part episode.

    Part 2 of our conversation with Pattie airs June 11.

    Joyce Vigue-Morrissette: Caregivers Grieve Too
    2026/04/11

    This month on Holding the Light, we welcome Joyce Vigue-Morrissette — a retired nurse who shares what grief looks like from the caregiver’s side of child loss. Joyce called into our Listener Line after hearing Holly Caron's episode "Grief Has No Timeline" and the story of her daughter Heather, who died from a brain tumor. Joyce was Heather's nurse. This episode reminds us that it's not just families who carry grief.

    Joyce references the podcast episode with Holly Caron. We invite you to listen to that episode here: Grief Has No Timeline https://www.buzzsprout.com/1914805/episodes/18567861
