Nikki Mark on Losing Her 12 Year-Old Son and The Healing Journey

from The Obliterated Place with Kaye Steinsapir · host Kaye Steinsapir

I’ve always thought of myself as an alchemist, transmuting what remains after destruction into something new. But after losing my daughter, Molly, that idea was no longer abstract. It became survival.In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Nikki Mark, the first person I met who had also lost a child, and the person who showed me it was possible to keep going.After her 12-year-old son, Tommy, passed away suddenly in his sleep, Nikki made a decision: she would not stay stuck in her grief. Instead, she approached her healing the same way she built companies — as something to study, test, and rebuild from the ground up.This conversation is about what happens after everything you knew is gone, and how you begin to choose what comes next.Connect with Nikki Mark:Instagram: @healingwithnikkiWebsite: www.nikkimark.comTM23 Foundation:www.tm23foundation.orgConnect with Kaye Steinsapir: Subscribe on YouTubeInstagram: @teammollyofficial The Molly Steinsapir Foundation
