An intimate conversation with grieving parent Kaye Steinsapir, about navigating devastating loss and the meaning behind the "The Obliterated Place" podcast.
How the heck do so many people find the time and resources to start foundations and such after losing a child? I would love to be a full-time advocate but I have to work. I struggle to maintain my presence on here regularly but I continue to write when muse inspires me.
Kay - I think its a mistake to rush to find meaning through a foundation, walk-a-thon, or other big, flashy event. It’s simply too early. Sometimes, finding a quiet way to honor our loved one — years later — makes more sense. I will spend the rest of my life finding small ways to honor my son. It’s not a race.
Hi Guys, just want to thank you for this. I listened to it on my dog walk today...and found it incredibly comforting. You're both doing such amazing work in Molly and Henry's name and as I'm slowly coming to terms with this new life, it's really helpful to see this.
What a wonderful job you are doing giving grieving parents a place to be consoled. I lost my daughter who was a junior in college to a hit and run driver. You are never prepared for the life changing impact on your life.
Elizabeth, my heart truly goes out to you and Kaye. We find hope in each other’s company when we come together to remember and support those who have loss loved ones. Remembering Molly by helping and supporting others in need is a wonderful way to keep her memory alive. 🫶

Thank you @Esther Stanway-Williams. We are all coming to terms with this new life together. Your writing is helping all of us.

Pam - What a horrendous tragedy. These instant deaths are so cruel. We're so sorry for your loss.
Yes there is comfort in others who have gone through loss.
