One of the most important things I did in my early grief was deceptively simple: I walked. Every single day. Before the house woke up. In the cold, the rain, the snow. Whatever the weather was, I met it. I put my body in motion when my mind felt completely stuck. I listened to podcasts—especially Terrible, Thanks for Asking—hearing other grieving parents speak honestly about loss so I wouldn’t feel so alone in mine. I listened to every episode. It felt like companionship when isolation was heavy

I never thought I’d return to the place where William died. For a long time, I believed the mountain was my enemy. But slowly, I found the strength to go back — and it ended up bringing so much healing to me and my family. William’s essence lives in those trees. His spirit is stitched into that mountain in a way I can’t explain, and I know not everyone will understand. But somehow, the place that shattered me has also become one of the places that holds me. I wonder what brings you comfort after

I became a mother again after my oldest son died. And sometimes, the child who came after him looks at me in a way that feels impossibly familiar. The same expressions. The same humor. The same presence. It is beautiful. And it is heartbreaking. It’s loving the child who is here, while being reminded — in the most intimate way — of the child who is not. Joy and grief sitting in the same room. Neither canceling the other out. I don’t know what to call this feeling. But I know I’m not alone in it.

Seven years ago, William died here at Big Sky Resort. We feel deeply called to be back on this mountain—but we don’t come back the same. Not because we were careless then. We weren’t. But because grief teaches you things you can only learn by living through the unthinkable. So now, before skis hit snow, we slow down. We study routes. Our youngest goes to ski school so he’s trained, capable, and confident. We invest in safety—even when it’s expensive—because peace of mind matters. AirTags. GPS. P

After William died on a family trip, travel became heavy in ways it never was before. Airports. Mountains. Hotels. They all carry memory now. And still, we don’t want fear to shrink our children’s world. We want them to be curious. To see beauty. To know that grief and living can coexist. This isn’t about being brave. It’s about being intentional. #childloss #parentingafterloss #griefandtravel #bereavementmom #continuingbonds #raisingchildren | Susan Shaw

No matter how our children died, so many of us arrive at the same place: self-blame. We search for the moment we could’ve changed everything. We carry guilt that doesn’t belong to us. And we suffer quietly because we think no one else feels it too. Learning that we were never in control is not a one-time realization — it’s a long, tender process. One that’s easier when we walk it together. If you’re a bereaved mom and this feels familiar, you’re not alone. If you love one, please be gentle — thi

Something I didn’t know until five years after William died: not everyone gets an autopsy. When the medical examiner told us he died from blunt force trauma to the head and chest, we assumed that was an autopsy. It wasn’t. We were in shock. In a fog. We didn’t think to ask. It’s very likely William died in a skiing accident. But it’s also possible there was a medical event that caused him to go off the trail. I sit with those questions. I have that mom gut feeling. And I also know we’ll never tr

Today, I feel like the only mom on this mountain whose son died skiing. We’re back because it matters to us that our living children don’t grow up afraid. I don’t ever want them to feel like life has to be lived inside a bubble, or that joy is something you lose forever after loss. And still — it’s really hard. It’s hard to stand here and watch happy families clip in and ski off, seemingly without a care in the world. It’s hard to feel the knot in my stomach as my own children push off, one by o

I’m in the other room, listening to Kai and his friends just be kids. Their voices, their jokes, the easy way they exist together. I love it. I soak it in. And then my mind drifts—because it always does. I wonder what William would be talking about right now. Who his friends would be at 16. What they’d be laughing over. What kind of kid he would’ve grown into. He was nine when he died. And I will never know. This is how grief lives with me— woven into the ordinary moments, right alongside the lo

When the pain of grief started to soften, I was terrified. Not because I was “better”… but because I thought the pain was the only thing still connecting me to my son. No one tells you this part. That when your body can’t survive that level of pain forever, fear can rush in instead. If you’ve felt this too, you’re not broken. You’re grieving. 🤍 Comment grief to get on my mailing list. | Susan Shaw

No warning. No sign. Just an ordinary day that I didn’t know would be William’s last. These are the very last pictures I have of his life. That’s the cruelty of child loss — the world looks the same, right up until it doesn’t. I share this not to frighten anyone, but to honor him… and to remind you to love your people loudly, messily, imperfectly. Because we never know. If this resonates, follow me. I talk about grief, love, and what it means to keep going when your world breaks. 💚 Comment GRIE

After William died, I assumed he’d had an autopsy. The coroner called just days after his death and told us he died from blunt force trauma to the head and chest, so I thought the full medical picture had already been revealed. Fast forward five years: I was sitting in a grief group listening to other parents talk about how their children’s autopsies took weeks, months, sometimes even years. And in that moment, it hit me—William never had one. Our call came far too quickly for any autopsy to hav

This is hard to say out loud. Regret is a quiet companion in grief. I didn’t know that was our last Christmas. None of us do. I don’t drink anymore, and that choice is rooted in presence, not shame. If you’re holding regret after loss, you are not alone—and you still deserve grace. If this resonates, you can sit with me in the comments. | Susan Shaw

I’ve given birth three times. William, Kai, Bodhi. And none of those experiences, not even all of them combined, comes close to the pain I’ve lived with since my son William died in 2019. This is not a comparison. It’s an acknowledgment. Grief after child loss is not just emotional. It lives in the body. It rewires your nervous system. It settles into places you didn’t know could ache. If this resonates, you’re not weak. You’re responding normally to something unbearable. Follow me and feel seen

My sweet William wanted to grow up. He had ideas, dreams, plans. And then one day, all of that ended. That’s the part of child loss people don’t see — the future that never gets to happen. The person they were becoming. The life they were imagining. But sharing these moments helps me keep him here. It helps me say his name, show his face, honor his joy. If you’re grieving a child, or love someone who is, you’re not alone. Comment “grief” and I’ll send you a link to resources that can help you su
