🎙️ Episode 13 – “When the Words Go Quiet: The Grief of Losing Connection”
Or: “Grieving the Child Who’s Still Here: When Autism Changes Everything”
Today’s episode isn’t about death—but it is about loss.
This one’s deeply personal, and incredibly important.

What happens when your child becomes non-verbal due to autism?
When the “I love you”s stop. When the conversations go silent.
You’re left grieving someone who’s still here.
This is called ambiguous loss—a type of grief most people don’t talk about.

In this episode, I’ll unpack:

• What this grief is and why it hurts

• The guilt, confusion, and isolation it brings

• What causes it—and how it changes you

• The impact on parenting, relationships, and identity

• How to cope and reconnect in new ways

If you’re a parent walking this path—your grief is real. And you’re not alone.
