If you've ever wondered “Who am I now?” after losing your child, this episode is for you. Child loss and grief don't just change your life—they can change your identity, relationships, priorities, boundaries, and even the way you see the world. In this deeply personal episode, bereaved mom and grief educator Lisa Boehm shares how losing her 17-year-old daughter, Katie, changed who she was and why finding yourself after child loss isn't necessarily about getting back to the person you were before. It's about giving yourself permission to discover who you are becoming while continuing to carry your child with you.

5 Key Takeaways From This Episode

  • Identity loss is normal and a very real part of grief after child loss.
  • Learn how to stop trying to get back to your “old self.”
  • Understand the parts of you that may return and the others that may change permanently.
  • Your identity as a mother changes after death, but your love continues.
  • You don't have to know who you're becoming yet. Give yourself permission to evolve at your own pace.
