How do you learn to breathe again after the unthinkable—after losing a child? In this powerful episode of Cry It Out Loud, we sit down with Melissa Hull, grief advocate, speaker, and author of Dear Drew, who lost her 4-year-old son in a tragic drowning accident. Melissa opens up about the moment that changed her life forever, the trauma that followed, and her courageous journey to rebuild a life filled with meaning, purpose, and joy again.

Together, we explore the reality of child loss, complicated grief, PTSD, trauma, anger, guilt, isolation, and society’s silence around bereavement. This conversation shatters stigma and gives language to a pain so many parents carry alone. Melissa also shares life-changing tools for healing, including how to:

• Coexist with grief while still choosing to live

• Integrate trauma instead of being defined by it

• Rebuild self-identity after loss

• Support grieving parents in ways that are actually helpful

• Find purpose, connection, and hope again

If you or someone you love has experienced child loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or deep grief, this episode will help you feel seen, validated, and less alone. Grief doesn’t end but it can transform.

This episode is for every grieving parent, every trauma survivor, and every person trying to support someone through a pain they can’t fix but refuse to ignore.

• Options for building a family, including adoption

• Why breaking the silence around infertility and loss matters for every family
