#031 - Part One - One Year Without Bella: Looking Back On Her Final Week

from Beyond Brave · host Kyla Thomson

In this deeply personal two-part episode, we’re opening up about something we’ve never shared before: the week our daughter Bella died. As we mark one year without her, we take you back to those final days , what they looked like, what we felt, and the moments that changed us forever. In Part 1, we ease into the conversation with a touching story from Bella’s school before diving into a vulnerable discussion about how others acknowledge, or avoid , the grief of a parent. Lyle and I explore our very different perspectives on what it means when someone says nothing at all. This episode is for every grieving parent, and for anyone who wants to better understand what it means to carry the love and the loss forward. As always, Lyle and I invite you to take a closer look into our lives from our socials: @kylact and @lylemt on Instagram & TikTok. If you'd like to watch our episodes instead of just listen, you can find our Beyond Brave podcast on my YouTube channel: @KylaCT as well.
