Losing her son to suicide was not something that was on Mary Anne's mind as she tried to support and help her son with his mental struggles.

In this episode, We are going to learn about Mary Anne’s layers of grief and how her process has changed as her grief journey has ebbed and flowed.

To cope with her grief, she sought help with a psychologist and took anti-depressants. She also diverted her attention to online stuff and traveling.  

However, when she got home which was when COVID started. She felt overwhelming sadness and crippling guilt. She even questioned her abilities as a mom.

Luckily, she saw Megan’s Facebook Group for  Grieving Moms.
