"When Violence Steals a Child - A mothers Story"

from Room to Grieve Podcast · host roomtogrievepodcast

This week we sit with Hayley, Mikey's mum. In this powerful episode she speaks openly about the murder of her 16 year old loving son, Mikey. In the raw aftermath of shock and trauma, Hayley shares what those first hours, days and months felt like. How grief had to be suppressed to deal with everything else around her. Mikey's loss re-shaped her life overnight. An honest exploration of how trauma and grief intertwine and how one mother survives the unimaginable, and continues to honour her son through charity work in his name, with community action and advocacy - carrying both grief and purpose side by side.
