Walking Through It
@highdesertstandardA Mother’s Healing Journey After Child Loss and Walking Through Grief, Not Around It
I didn't write this book because I have grief figured out.
I wrote it because eleven years after losing my son, Carsyn, I realized I had spent years walking around parts of my grief instead of actually walking through them.
I still cry.
I still get angry.
I still struggle with guilt and the what-ifs.
And I still miss my son more than words can explain.
This book is for the mama who understands that kind of pain.
Inside Walking Through It, I share pieces of my own story while giving you space to work through your own grief—the anger, guilt, triggers, birthdays, holidays, family grief, memories, laughter, love, and all the messy shit nobody really prepares you for after losing a child.
This isn't a book telling you to "move on."
Fuck that.
Your child mattered.
Their life mattered.
And you don't have to stop loving or remembering them in order to keep living.
Inside you'll find:
• 10 heartfelt chapters about navigating child loss
• Personal reflections from my journey with Carsyn
• Guided grief journal prompts
• Space to write about your child and your memories
• Support for guilt, anger and the what-ifs
• Help navigating birthdays, holidays and unexpected triggers
• Conversations about family and sibling grief
• Permission to laugh, live and create new memories without feeling like you're leaving your child behind
• Extra lined journal pages for whatever is on your heart
I'm not standing at the end of grief looking back at you.
I'm standing in it with you.
From one grieving mama to another, I hope these pages remind you that you don't have to have this shit figured out.
We're still their mothers.
We're still loving them.
And we're still walking.
Not away from them. With them.
