| Grieving for the living Losses found in Caring for a child with medical needs | 21 Oct 2024 | 00:54:16 | |
A bit of a different one this week. Karen and Bec chat to Jessica Patay, founder of We Are Brave Together is a non-profit organization, rooted in Southern California, that provides an international community of support for “Caregiving Moms”—moms caring for children or adult children with any diagnosis, disability or challenge: physical, medical, mental, emotional, behavioral. Our current membership of over 3,000 moms represents all 50 states and 27 countries. Not all losses are a loss in the typical sense of the word, there are everyday living losses too and its important we talk about these as so many carers can feel hidden in plain sight. It is an immensely difficult, tough and lonely place to be. Since inception, We Are Brave Together primary mission is to combat the isolation, loneliness, and compassion fatigue that these mothers face, and create opportunities for education, empowerment, support and connection. We know that our brave mothers are at great risk for burnout, depression, and anxiety, so our mission is to truly preserve and protect their mental health with all our offerings. We believe if you educate and support a mom, you educate and support a whole family. We offer a host of resources to empower mothers in their unique and difficult journeys. We also provide online support resources through our Brave Together Parenting podcast, YouTube channel, monthly newsletters, blog posts and social media feeds. Most recently we released our first anthology, Becoming Brave Together: Heroic, extraordinary caregiving stories from mothers hidden in plain sight, to raise awareness about extreme caregiving and to shout the worth of caregiving and parent caregivers.

| Son died 10 years after diagnosed with brain tumour - Bec & Karen are joined by Angela Moseley, fellow loss mum | 11 Nov 2024 | 00:43:29 | |
This weeks visual is not up to scratch and we apologise for that! Bec was in a lightening storm and lost signal for large portions of it and therefore dips in and out, this also meant we had to recover the footage and work hard to restore it! Karen and Bec were joined back in September this year with fellow loss mum Angela Moseley who son William was diagnosed with a brain tumour 10 years before he died 2 years ago aged 18. Angela bravely shares Williams story for the first time and shares their journey whilst William was poorly and her own subsequent grief journey.
