Grief & the Missing: When Children and Loved Ones Disappear — A Conversation with Black & Missing w/ Derrica & Natalie

from The Grieving Sisters · host Jess & Liz

When a child or loved one goes missing the grief is immediate — but for families of color it’s often doubled by invisibility, bias, and lack of resources. On this episode of The Grieving Sisters we speak with Derrica Wilson and Natalie Wilson, co-founders of the Black & Missing Foundation (BAMFI). Drawing on decades of law-enforcement, public safety, media relations, and advocacy experience, they share the realities families face after someone disappears, how media and systemic bias shape search outcomes, and the compassionate steps communities can take to support families through grief, investigation, and memory-making.This conversation covers crisis response, trauma-informed family support, prevention and safety education, and how listeners can partner to make searches and memorialization more visible and equitable.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow ushttps://www.tiktok.com/@the.grieving.sistershttps://www.instagram.com/the_grieving_sisters/__________________________________________________________________#SiblingLoss#GriefJourney#HealingAfterLoss#GrievingTogether#SiblingGrief#LossAndLove#HealingThroughGrief#SiblingLove#CopingWithLoss#GriefSupport#GriefPodcast#Healing#FindingPeaceAfterLoss#RememberingSiblings#TheGrievingSisters
