Season 4: Roadmap For Grieving Parents -E420

Send us Fan Mail

This conversation opens with a promise: we will talk about child loss with honesty, tenderness, and practical care. Bruce Barker and Kristin Glenn outline the intention for Season 4 of Don’t Forget To Breathe: honest, compassionate discussions about child loss that replace clichés with clarity and care.

They outline episodes designed for parents in the earliest, raw weeks of grief, for those years down the road still carrying love and pain together, and for friends and family who want to support without causing harm. Together, they explore what grief really looks like, why it isn’t linear, how meaning is rebuilt over time, and what it means to live after loss rather than “move on.”

The conversation touches on relationships, mental health, and the outside world, how partners grieve differently, how silence can deepen isolation, and how anxiety, trauma, and depression show up along the way. Bruce and Kristin also open space for spirituality, uncertainty, and continuing bonds, and invite bereaved parents from all backgrounds to share their stories.

A grounding, invitational episode that sets the tone for a season focused on connection, understanding, and hope, without silver linings.
