She gave birth to her stillborn daughter just one month later. We chat about "what not to say," the power of storytelling, and two of Christina's favorite authors, Cheryl Strayed and Bren\u00e9 Brown. Also on the show, I answer a listener question about not getting to say goodbye before a death. And we talk about the importance of holding space for other people's stories of grief, loss, and trauma. Leave me some birthday love! I'm collecting 25 Facebook page reviews by my 25th birthday on August 12. Would you give me some stars? \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Eeoz4Z Find a Grief Recovery Method support group in your area: https:\/\/www.griefrecoverymethod.com\/grief-support-groups Christina Lerchen's work: https:\/\/thebestunexpected.com\/ Support Coming Back on Patreon: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/shelbyforsythia Subscribe: iTunes https:\/\/apple.co\/2CMqhhE Spotify http:\/\/spoti.fi\/2CMr16k Stitcher http:\/\/bit.ly\/2m08eJr YouTube http:\/\/bit.ly\/2m1JWil GooglePlay http:\/\/bit.ly\/2lWQmiG TuneIn http:\/\/bit.ly\/2F469Fl Continue the conversation on grief and loss in my private Facebook group, The Grief Growers' Garden: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/thegriefgrowersgarden\/ To ask a question or leave a comment for a future show, leave a voicemail at 312.725.3043 or email shelby@shelbyforsythia.com, subject line, "Podcast."
