What happens to a mother's world when tragedy strikes and she loses a child? Witness the incredible strength and resilience of Dr. Verlonda Jackson, a mother who faced the unthinkable loss of her four-year-old son, Judah. Verlonda’s tragedy and journey of grieving and rebuilding that followed is nothing short of heartrending.
We discuss the following:

• Maternal guilt
• The pressure of maintaining appearances
• The importance of honest conversations with our children.
• The significance of giving ourselves grace during difficult times
• Not chasing the illusion of a perfect mom.
• The pursuit of a new normal in the face of a personal catastrophe
• Diverse coping mechanisms within a grieving family
• The ways in which Verlonda’s family and other son navigated their sorrow.
• The often overlooked concept of 'secondary losses'
• The struggle of managing guilt and faith post-tragedy.
