31. Life After Losing a Child: How Grief Creates a New Polarity of Living

What if grief isn’t just about surviving but about being cracked open to a completely new polarity of living?In this episode, I sit down with Melani Sessa, founder of Grace and Grief Healing, to have one of the most profound and tender conversations we’ve ever had on this podcast. After the unexpected loss of her son, Melani found herself navigating not only the depths of sorrow but also the birth of a movement, a community where grieving mothers are met with faith, honesty, and presence.We talk about the truths most people never say out loud: how grief reshapes your body, mind, and relationships… how faith can anchor you when the ground has completely given way… and what it really means to show up for someone in loss.This isn’t about finding silver linings. It’s about hearing from a woman who has lived the unthinkable and chosen to create light in the darkest valley. If you or someone you love is walking through grief, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.📘 Read Melani's book "Grace & Grief" a 90-day journal of prayer, reflection and remembrance 📚 Take a look at Melani’s guides and resources 💌 Get in touch with Melani on Instagram @grace_and_grief_healing---------------------If you're interested in my recommended red light therapy tools, visit boncharge.com and get a 15% discount with my code: MHM---------------------Reach out to me on Instagram @andrea.clark.mft Follow @truthaboutmentalhealthpodcast on InstagramFollow @truthaboutmentalhealth on TikTok
