Liz also shares her journey through anticipatory and ambiguous grief as she lost her mother to Alzheimer’s and dementia, followed by the death of her father to esophageal cancer.Nina and Liz offer insights into how one's healing journey can evolve into a purpose-driven mission, and emphasize the importance of storytelling and community in the grief process. This episode is a poignant reminder that grief is not something to fix — it’s something to honor, carry, and live with love. <a href='https://griefandlight.myflodesk.com/grieftendingtoolkit'>Free Download: GRIEF TENDING TOOLKIT</a>  // <a href='https://grief-and-light-community.mn.co/share/Cf2lBEWMEGWF_Fxm?utm_source=manual'>ACCESS OUR ONLINE COMMUNITY</a> // Takeaways:<ul><li>You don't necessarily feel like a mother when you don't have a child physically.</li><li>The love for a child begins the moment you know they are yours.</li><li>Grief is a journey that shapes who you are.</li><li>Honoring lost children is a vital part of healing.</li><li>It's okay to not want to hold a baby after loss.</li><li>You either know or you just do it when it comes to having more children.</li><li>Building a relationship with a child in spirit takes time.</li><li>There is no right or wrong way to navigate grief.</li><li>Sometimes, mothers know best when it comes to healing traditions.</li><li>Support groups can be both helpful and challenging.</li><li>Siblings can experience grief for a sibling they never met.</li><li>The loss of a child reshapes family dynamics and identities.</li><li>Transforming grief into purpose can lead to personal growth.</li><li>Shared stories can initiate healing for both the storyteller and the listener.</li><li>Grief is a lifelong journey that evolves over time.</li><li>Life after loss can still be beautiful despite its challenges.</li></ul> Connect with Liz Quinn:<ul><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/healing_hearts_podcast/'>@healing_hearts_podcast</a></li><li><a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/08PxtTeYYuaL31Ks1P2IYX?si=220444e9d6954c83'>Healing Hearts Podcast</a></li></ul> Connect with Nina Rodriguez:<ul><li>IG: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/griefandlight'>@griefandlight</a></li><li><a href='https://www.griefandlight.com/'>griefandlight.com</a></li><li><a href='https://www.griefandlight.com/heart-to-heart'>1:1 Grief Support</a></li></ul> <a href='https://www.griefandlight.com/safetyanddisclaimers'>Disclaimer</a>: griefandlight.com/safetyanddisclaimers<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2163685/support">Support the show</a>Thank you for listening!
