151: Part of me is not here since I lost my son with Olga Mister.

Olga Mister shared her grief journey through the first year of the loss of her six and half year old son TJ and the beginning of year two. She said I remember walking out of the hospital and thinking I will see him tomorrow. Olga said numerous times that no one talks about your whole body going through a change and how exhausting grief is. Her pastor shared with her that she needed to heal emotionally, physically and spiritually. Every area of your life needs healing.

Inside this episode we talked about:

• The exhaustion and the very dark times.
• Throwing yourself back into work to avoid the grief.
• Not remembering who you are.
• How you see things so differently.
• Being so deep in pain that the "signs" were not visible

Olga has just begun her second year of the loss of TJ and said it is worse. The fog has lifted so she is needing to navigate things differently. She is worried that she is going to lose someone else. Family and friends have distanced themself so she is clinging to the Angel Moms she has met for support. And knowing that she is forever changed ... navigating how to find her new identity without her son.

"There is no getting over the loss, it is just learning how to live with it." -- Olga Mister
