Grief isn't always about loss of life—it can be about the loss of the life you imagined. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Katy Parker, a trauma-informed grief and loss coach and the compassionate force behind the Journeyofsmiley blog.

Katy opens up about her personal journey as a trauma survivor and chronic pain warrior, explaining why many of us don't even realize we are carrying invisible grief. She defines this unacknowledged pain—the loss of health, innocence, safety, or time—and how it quietly controls our lives.

You'll learn the vital first step to healing: admitting the grief is there and giving voice to the pain. Katy shares her faith-grounded approach to moving forward with purpose and peace, empowering you to reclaim your narrative even when life hasn't turned out as planned.

In this episode, you will discover:

• What invisible grief is and why it's so common in a grief-illiterate world.
• The practical keys to naming your pain and expressing what you've lost.
• Katy's faith-based strategy for finding hope and meaning beyond survival.

Don't let unacknowledged loss hold you back. Tune in to learn how to heal and move forward. (Don't forget to check out Katy's free resource, the 7 Keys To Self-Healing, A Trauma Survivor's Guide—link in the show notes!)
