How to Show Up for Bereaved Parents with Heidi Low | Ep 4

Send a textAlmost 20 years ago Heidi Low held her 5 year-old daughter, Alison, in her arms while she breathed her last breath.She spent the next eight years reading and researching like crazy–trying everything from therapy to energy healing and so many more things in between. Most weren’t directly related to grief, but focused on personal growth and using her deep pain as a catalyst for something good or even lots of good somethings.One summer afternoon sitting on her back patio, Heidi had a vision for taking all she’d learned and what had worked for her and offering it to other parents who felt like she did.That vision was the beginning of ‘Ohana Oasis, a non-profit which has now served parents from across the nation with weeklong retreats using a curriculum Heidi created based on all the tools that worked for her. Ten years and 15+ retreats later, alumni who’ve attended leadership retreats are now leading the retreats for new bereaved parents.Heidi has seen how taking time away from everyday life–being immersed in a well thought out environment–transforms lives. Now Heidi is taking all she’s learned about creating meaningful and life-changing retreats and sharing that with others who have a heart centered practice they want to offer in an intimate retreat setting.I learned so much from Heidi during this episode about what the experience of losing a child is like, and most importantly, how I can better serve and love my friends and family who are grieving their own children.
