Episode 49 – How to Rebuild Physical and Emotional Intimacy After the Loss of a Child

When a child dies, intimacy often breaks down in ways no one prepares you for. Touch can feel foreign. Closeness feels risky. And for many couples, recovery isn’t just emotional — it’s tied to real medical trauma.

In this episode, I share our story of navigating intimacy after losing Mia. From Saroeun’s emergency hysterectomy and long recovery to the fear, distance, and slow rebuilding that followed, this conversation gets real about what couples face and how connection can return in unexpected ways.

If you’re struggling with physical or emotional closeness after loss, you’re not alone. This episode offers honesty, hope, and a path forward.

Listen now to learn:

• Why intimacy often collapses after child loss

• How medical trauma affects connection

• The emotional and physical barriers couples face

• Ways to rebuild closeness without pressure

• What helped us strengthen our bond through some of our hardest days

Episode 48 – Environmental / Home-Loss Grief | The Grief Guardian Podcast

In this episode, we dive into a type of grief most people never talk about: the sadness that comes from losing a home, land, or environment that once grounded you.
Whether it’s a childhood home being sold, a neighbourhood that no longer feels familiar, or a natural space destroyed by fires or development, this kind of loss can hit harder than you expect.

I break down what environmental and home-loss grief is, how it shows up, what causes it, how it affects us, and how you can start healing from it in a real, practical way.

If you've ever felt unsettled, nostalgic, or “displaced” after losing a meaningful place, this episode will speak to you.

Listen now and take another step toward healing.

Loss of Community or Belonging | The Grief Guardian Podcast (Episode 47)

Description:

What happens when you no longer feel like you belong anywhere?

In this episode of The Grief Guardian Podcast, we talk about a type of grief that often goes unnoticed — the loss of community and belonging. Whether it comes from moving, changing life paths, or experiencing deep loss, this kind of disconnection can leave you feeling isolated, even when you’re surrounded by people.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit in anymore, like your world has shifted and no one quite understands where you’re at… this episode is for you.

We break down what this form of grief looks like, why it happens, and how you can start rebuilding a sense of connection in a way that actually feels real.

You’re not alone in this — even if it feels like it right now.

In this episode:
• What “loss of belonging” really means
• Signs you might be experiencing it
• Why grief can disconnect you from others
• The hidden impact of feeling like an outsider
• Practical ways to rebuild connection and community
