  Episode #9

  Episode 9: The Kids' Perspective

  Aug 4, 20261h 28mS1

  Episode 9: The Kids' Perspective The Kids' Perspective on Losing a Parent What is it like to lose a parent as a teenager or young adult? What do children wish the adults and friends around them understood about grief? In one of the most personal episodes of the Grief Girls Podcast, Tamara welcomes her daughters—Sofia, Ava, and Mia—to share their individual experiences following the sudden loss of their father. Through heartfelt and honest conversations, they offer a rare glimpse into grief from the perspective of children who have grown into young adults while learning to live without their dad. Together, they reflect on the trauma of those first days, the anxiety and fear that followed, the friendships that carried them through, and the comments that unintentionally caused more pain. Four years later, they also share how grief has evolved, what continues to be difficult, and the lessons they hope will help other grieving children, parents, friends, teachers, coaches, and anyone supporting a family after loss. Whether you are grieving the loss of a parent or hoping to better support someone who is, this episode is filled with honest conversations, practical advice, and reminders that healing doesn't mean forgetting—it means learning to carry love forward. In This Episode Chapter 1 (0:00–24:50) Introducing the Daughters of Grief Girls Grief Girls ask Sofia, Ava, and Mia, "Tell us about the first few days and months of your grief." The daughters share their memories of the shock, confusion, and emotional weight of losing their dad while reflecting on the overwhelming support they received, the anxiety and fear that followed, and the routines that helped them move forward. They also answer the question, "How do you feel four years later?" offering hope and perspective on how grief changes over time. Chapter 2 (24:50–49:00) The Kindness We Never Forget During the First Year of Grief Grief Girls ask, "What are some of the things friends and family did that helped you through your journey of grief?" The daughters share the acts of kindness they will never forget—from heartfelt messages and thoughtful gestures to friends who weren't afraid to say their dad's name or simply sit beside them in silence. They also discuss why well-intentioned comparisons can miss the mark and explain how acknowledging their dad's life brought far more comfort than avoiding the conversation. Chapter 3 (50:00–End) The Best Ways Parents Can Support Their Child's Grief Grief Girls ask, "What advice would you give to other parents supporting their children through the loss of a parent?" Sofia, Ava, and Mia share what helped them feel loved and supported throughout their grief journey, including the importance of continuing to talk about their dad and recognizing that grief continues long after life appears to return to normal. Their powerful reminder to parents is simple: "Don't forget that we lost Dad too." Key Takeaways Every child experiences grief differently, and there is no "right" way to grieve. Saying a loved one's name and sharing their stories brings comfort. Small acts of kindness are often remembered for a lifetime. Presence is more important than having the perfect words. Children continue to grieve long after others believe they have "moved on." Open conversations help keep memories alive and strengthen families. Healing doesn't mean leaving our loved one behind—it means carrying them with us.

  Grief Girls Podcast – Episode 8

  Jul 21, 202641 minS1

  Grief Girls Podcast – Episode 8 The Importance of Saying Their Name, How to Support Someone who is Grieving One of the greatest gifts you can give someone who is grieving is to continue saying the name of the person they love, sharing stories that keep their memory alive, and simply showing up with unexpected acts of kindness. In this heartfelt episode, Tamara and Paula talk about why sharing stories and memories of our loved ones provides comfort. You can help someone move through their grief by acknowledging the life of those who passed. Don’t let an “elephant” sit in the room. Say the name, share the story, share the memory. Share the same memory 100 times. We want to hear it. Don’t be afraid even if it’s followed by tears. Because the tears are of love and not of sadness or anger. If you've ever worried that mentioning someone's loved one might make them sad, this conversation may change your perspective. Hearing their name reminds us that our loved one is remembered, that their life mattered, and that you understand this grief is embedded in our new self. Tamara and Paula also share an important message for those who are newly grieving: allow others to help. Accepting a meal, a hug, a listening ear, or a simple act of kindness not only supports your new journey, but also gives others a meaningful way to express their love and compassion. Try hard to say “yes” and accept the help. In This Episode: Why saying a loved one's name matters The heartfelt gratitude of hearing stories and memories Thoughtful ways to support someone who is grieving Why tears are often a sign of love and gratitude—not discomfort Learning to receive help during grief How simple acts of kindness can make a lasting impact Key Takeaway Love doesn't end when someone dies, and neither should their story. Continue saying their name, continue sharing their memories, and never underestimate the power of showing up with kindness. Sometimes the smallest gestures leave the biggest imprint on a grieving heart.

  Episode 7: The Milestones They Should Have Been Here For

  Jul 7, 202635 minS1

  Episode 7: The Milestones They Should Have Been Here For Welcome back to Grief Girls Podcast. One of the most challenging parts of grief is navigating life’s milestone moments without the person you expected would always be by your side. Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, graduations, and family celebrations can bring a complicated mix of joy, sadness, gratitude, and longing. In this episode, Tamara and Paula open with an honest and emotional conversation about Paula’s son’s wedding and the many major life events they have faced since losing their husbands. They share personal stories about the annual holidays, family celebrations, and meaningful milestones that now carry a different emotional weight. Throughout the episode, they reflect on how the gift of time has helped them prepare for some of these difficult moments while also learning to accept that grief doesn’t always follow a plan. Sometimes strength means showing up and celebrating. Other times it means stepping away for a moment, finding a quiet place to breathe, and allowing themselves to weep while honoring the love and loss they carry. Our hope is that this conversation reminds you that it is possible to experience both joy and sorrow at the same time. You are not alone if special occasions feel bittersweet, and there is no right or wrong way to move through them. In This Episode: • Navigating weddings, holidays, anniversaries, and family celebrations after loss • Paula’s experience attending her son’s wedding without her husband • The emotional impact of the “year of firsts” and significant milestones • Learning how to prepare for difficult events while honoring grief • Giving yourself permission to step away, breathe, and feel your emotions • Finding moments of joy while carrying the sadness of loss • How time can help build resilience while keeping loved ones close • The importance of grace, self-compassion, and realistic expectations Key Takeaway: Major life celebrations and milestone moments can be some of the most difficult experiences to navigate after loss. Grief often shows up when we least expect it, even during joyful occasions. Over time, we learn that we don’t have to choose between happiness and sadness—we can hold both at the same time. Giving ourselves permission to feel, to remember, to celebrate, and even to step away for a moment of quiet reflection is all part of honoring both our loved ones and our own healing journey.

  Episode 6: The Signs from Heaven

  Jun 23, 202637 minS1

  Episode 6: The Signs from Heaven Welcome back to Grief Girls Podcast. Grief changes the way we experience the world around us. Sometimes, in the midst of loss, we begin to notice moments that feel too meaningful to be coincidence—signs, messages, and connections that remind us our loved ones are still with us in spirit. In this episode, Tamara and Paula share personal stories about how they have learned not only to recognize signs from their husbands but also to intentionally ask for them. They explore the many ways signs can appear—often when least expected—and discuss how staying open to these moments has brought comfort, hope, connection, and reassurance throughout their grief journeys. They also discuss the powerful teachings of Laura Lynne Jackson's book The Light Between Us , which explores the idea that love transcends death and that we all have the ability to remain connected to those we have lost. Through her work, readers are encouraged to open their hearts and minds to the signs, messages, and continuing bonds that exist between Heaven and Earth. Our hope is that this conversation inspires you to become more aware of the signs that may already be surrounding you and to trust the moments that bring comfort, peace, and connection. In This Episode: Personal stories of signs received from our husbands after their passing Learning to recognize signs through all of our senses How grief can open us to deeper spiritual awareness The comfort and healing that signs can bring Lessons from Laura Lynne Jackson's The Light Between Us Continuing relationships with our loved ones beyond physical loss How to remain open to receiving signs and messages from those we miss Finding hope, connection, and reassurance through unexpected signs from Heaven Key Takeaway: Love does not end when a life ends. While grief changes our relationship with those we have lost, it does not erase the bond we share with them. Signs often arrive in ways we least expect—through nature, music, memories, feelings, or meaningful coincidences. By remaining open and attentive, we may discover that our loved ones are still finding ways to remind us that they are near, that love continues, and that we are never truly alone.
