Going to a therapist is a good thing. But if you don’t address your grief, then you may not get what’s best for you in that experience. Grief counseling is a good for you no matter how long ago you experienced loss. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Good Grief - Counselors

Grief has a mind of its own. Some days it’s bearable and life feels livable. Some days it’s neither high nor low. And some days it’s insufferable. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Good Grief: Two Days Later

The world is just catching up to us with all this talk about the “new normal.” We’ve been living our own “new normals” since life changed for us, right? As Mother’s Day approaches, I’m feeling “meh” about it. That’s my normal. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Thursday Thoughts: New Normals

“I’m going through,” is what you say when life has you down. What if we started thinking of “going through” as a process to “getting out” or “getting better?” It’s something I’m thinking about. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Sunshine and Daniel: Chapter 1, Part 1

I met Diona Murray of @barrenfruit three years ago. Her Infertility Empowerment Conference helped me to accept that I am an infertile woman. It had never dawned on me that the fibroids that caused my pre-term labor, the loss of my Daniel, and that would later lead to my doctor telling me that I would not be able to have children equaled infertility. I now proclaim, realize and exclaim it. I am whole. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Good Grief: Infertility Awareness

In 2018, I published my book, Sunshine and Daniel: Seeking Grace in Lost Motherhood out of a call to share my story to help mothers who have lost children. For the next several Sundays, join me as we read through Sunshine and Daniel together. You can read along in your book, or listen and let the stories comfort and bless you.

Sunshine and Daniel - Preface and Acknowledgements

On Sunday, the beginning of this week, another Black man was killed by police. His name is Daunte Wright. He wasn’t my child, but he is my child. As a grieving Black mother, his death is my son’s death. His death causes my soul to hurt all over again. It signals that I have to do something for my mental health. So, Mum, I write a sentence to my-maternal-self; 10, 50, 100 times. My maternal mental health requires it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Good Grief: Black Maternal Mental Health Week

What’s your gift? Everyone has a gift. That includes you, Mum. There is something you have in you that helps other people feel better, do better and be better. Every single person has a gift. Think about yours and give it to the world. We need it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Thoughtful Thursday: My gift to you

I just finished a new workout. Strength training. At my age! As I walk this grieving journey, I owe it to myself, those I remember, and those I serve to be fit. It’s African American Women’s Fitness Month. And I’m worth it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Thursday Thoughts: Are You Fit?

As I prayed for you today, Mum, something about you impressed me. Your love. That love that confounds you. That love that cherishes memories. That love that sustains you. That love that reaches heaven. Your love, Mum, is a love that endures. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Good Grief: Mum’s Love Endures

A friend reminded me of the importance of stretching. It physically eases sore muscles. Stretching is a powerful tool for our emotional hurts, too. Spiritual stretching keeps us whole. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Thursday Thoughts. Stretch the Soreness.

Do you remember Janet Jackson’s popular ‘90s song, “What have you done for me lately?” It posed a good question to someone who was not holding up their end of a relationship. Now, I’m taking a twist on her question to ask you - what have you done for you lately? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support

Good Grief. What have you done for you lately?

I had to have some testing this morning. An ultrasound to be exact. The wild goose chase I was sent on to get to ultrasound took me where I did not want to be, but the path back led me to grace. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/silent-womens-club-podcast/support
