137: Life After Child Loss | What is Grief, How Does It Show Up, and What Can We Do About It? w/ Cole Imperi + Leah Deason

The Rare Life

Not all of us have or will experience the loss of a child, but we ALL have to navigate some type of grief and loss in our lives.

I know this sounds heavy, but in today’s episode grief expert Cole Imperi and grieving mother Leah Deason and I have a frank but honestly kind of soothing conversation about the way grief and loss shape our lives, and how we can move through traumatic moments by understanding and embracing our grief.

Even if you don’t feel like you’ve experienced a traumatic loss yet, I think you’ll find something in this conversation for you, because grief is universal, but it doesn’t have to be scary.E Stephens families. in 2021, they lost their sweet grandson Logan en utero to a rare genetic syndrome. This episode is lovingly dedicated to Logan Reid Steitz and to his dear parents Brittany and Matt. Their grief of losing Logan will forever keep him in their hearts.
