Living After Loss: Grief, Finding Your Way & How We Support Each Other

What does life look like after loss, when the rest of the world keeps moving but your grief is still very much alive?In Part 2 of my conversation with Breann Snyder, we talk about what happened after Flossy’s birth and what it has meant to carry her through every chapter that followed.Breann shares why grief returns at milestones, why she desperately wanted something visible to show the world that her daughter existed, and why she initially protected her grief from anyone who might try to fix it.We also explore grief comparison, pregnancy after loss, and the powerful idea Breann calls the “absence of hope”, allowing herself to live inside uncertainty without forcing herself to believe everything would be okay.And through it all, we come back to something I find so beautiful: joy and grief don't have to cancel each other out. Love, pain, sadness, humor, and joy can all belong to the same story.This is a conversation about continuing to live without leaving our grief behind, and learning to meet ourselves and each other exactly where we are.02:59 You never finish grieving: how loss returns with every new milestone07:50 Why Breann didn't want anyone to fix her grief17:43 Normalizing stillbirth and keeping Flossy visible within their family25:00 Grief comparison and questioning whether we have the “right” to grieve34:59 The “absence of hope” and finding presence during pregnancy after loss44:40 How joy and grief can exist together in the very same memoryHave questions?
