Summary
Join me on Substack for more tools to stay human in a complicated world. What does it actually look like to live with grief… without letting it take you down? In this final episode of the grief series, Heather shares honest, grounded guidance for parents, LGBTQ families, and allies navigating loss, identity, and a complicated world. Drawing from her own experience grieving her sister Corinne and parenting through change, she introduces her Recognition, Realization, and Repair framework. This episode explores what it means to hold grief and love at the same time, how to set boundaries without losing connection, and why kindness is not the same as compliance. You’ll also hear simple, real-life practices to help regulate your nervous system and stay present in the moments that matter most. If you are a parent adjusting to a new reality, supporting an LGBTQ child, or an ally trying to stay human in a divided world, this conversation will meet you where you are. You’ll walk away feeling steadier, more connected, and better equipped to move through grief with compassion, courage, and clarity. Press play to learn how to carry grief without being crushed by it and discover the small, powerful ways parents and allies can create healing, connection, and lasting impact in their everyday lives.
