About Grieving Insomniacs, a grief podcast.

Grieving Insomniacs, where every tear shed is a testament to the love we carry in our hearts. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide grieving mothers everywhere with a safe, sacred space where their pain is acknowledged, their grief is accepted, and their voices are amplified. Through the power of podcasting, we're dismantling the culture of silence that surrounds the grief of mothers, replacing it with a culture of support, empathy, and understanding. We envision a world where no mother suffers in silence.

   From Grieving Insomniacs to Miles, Memories, and Messages to the Wind

   If you've been listening to Grieving Insomniacs, first, thank you. Thank you for allowing me into your sleepless nights, your quiet mornings, and those moments when grief felt too heavy to carry alone. Together we've cried, questioned, remembered, and discovered that grief doesn't have to be hidden away. It can be spoken out loud. This podcast has always been about authenticity. That will never change. What is changing is the way I tell these stories. I'm excited to share that Grieving Insomniacs is evolving into a YouTube channel called Miles, Memories, and Messages to the Wind. This new chapter combines everything that has been on my heart: grief, healing, travel, storytelling, and the extraordinary places that remind us our loved ones are never truly gone. I'll be traveling to Wind Phones across the country—places where people speak words left unsaid to those they love and miss. Along the way, I'll visit beautiful landscapes, meet remarkable people, share honest conversations about grief, and continue exploring what it means to build a meaningful life after unimaginable loss. Christopher's story will always be at the heart of this journey. His life continues to inspire every mile I travel and every story I tell. Through this channel, I hope his legacy continues to bring hope and connection to others who are walking this road. Don't worry—I'm not leaving behind the conversations you've come to expect. You'll still hear reflections on grief, interviews, coping strategies, and the real, unfiltered moments that remind us we aren't alone. The difference is that now you'll be able to experience these journeys alongside me. You'll see the roads I travel. The Wind Phones I visit. The places where memories live. And the moments that remind us hope still exists. If you've been with me from the beginning, I hope you'll continue this journey with me. If you're new here, welcome. There's always room for one more traveler. Thank you for walking beside me. Until next time... May the road bring you peace, may the wind carry your messages, and may love always find its way home. #grief #griefjourney #transitions #grievingmother

   “I Saw My Son After He Died”

   In this episode, I share something I’ve never fully put into words—the moment I saw my son after he died. It didn’t come in a dream that felt distant or symbolic. It came in a way that felt immediate, real, and unmistakably present. A moment that stopped everything and cracked open the way I understand love, grief, and connection beyond what I can explain. This isn’t a story about answers. It’s a story about experience. About what it’s like to stand in the aftermath of loss and still encounter love that feels alive. About how grief doesn’t always stay in memory—it sometimes shows up in the space around us, uninvited and undeniable. I also talk about the lake, the water, and how I’ve tried to hold this experience alongside everyday life—without losing my footing in either world. If you’ve ever questioned what’s real in grief, what’s imagined, or what might exist in between, you’re not alone in that question. I don’t claim to have answers. I only know what I saw, what I felt, and what it changed in me. This is a story about love that didn’t end. https://www.instagram.com/grievinginsomniacs/ (https://www.instagram.com/grievinginsomniacs/) https://www.facebook.com/grievinginsomniacs (https://www.facebook.com/grievinginsomniacs) https://ahealingplaceforgrief.com/home/grieving-insomniacs-podcast/ (https://ahealingplaceforgrief.com/home/grieving-insomniacs-podcast/)

   Grieving Out Loud (Because Silence Didn’t Work)”

   Grief / podcast /grieving insomnaics From the outside, it can look like someone is doing grief “the right way.” Holding it together. Saying the right things. Moving forward. But grief doesn’t follow rules—and it doesn’t always show its deepest truths where others can see. In this episode, I share the impact of losing a high school classmate to suicide—after she had already lost her son the same way. It made me question everything we think we know about grief, healing, and what it means to be “okay.” For a long time, I pulled back. I stopped sharing. I quieted my voice—because I was afraid of showing up as the grieving one. Afraid of being seen in the mess of it. But silence didn’t make the grief easier. It just made it lonelier. This episode is about what happens when we stop trying to perform grief… and start allowing it to be seen. Now, I’m choosing something different. I’m grieving out loud. Everywhere. In this episode, I talk about: The illusion of “doing grief right” How comparison can quietly isolate us The fear of being seen in our pain What happened when I stopped sharing—and why it didn’t help Choosing authenticity over silence If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide your grief to be acceptable… this conversation is for you. You don’t have to do this quietly. You don’t have to do this perfectly. You just have to be real.
