E19: Grief in the Mirror: Looking Like Someone Who Died with Cara Belvin of Empower

What do you do when your own face reminds you—or others—of someone who died? In this conversation with Empower founder Cara Belvin, we talk about the surreal experience of resembling someone you've lost and how it shapes identity, memory, and the grief we carry. Together we explore: Why looking like someone who died can feel comforting—or complicated The emotional weight of being a "living reminder" to friends and family Why parent loss is SO life-changing The powerful role of mentorship in navigating early parent loss Become a mentor or volunteer with Empower—or get support for a grieving kid in your life: https://weareempower.org/ Join Life After Loss Academy FREE for one month with code GRIEFGROWER: https://life-after-loss-academy.circle.so/checkout/life-after-loss-academy-membership?coupon_code=Griefgrower Pre-order my new book, Of Course I'm Here Right Now: Three Actually Helpful Things to Say to Someone Grieving: https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/of-course-im-here-right-now ...
