Episode 152: Channeling Grief into Good

July 13, 2026

In honor of National Bereaved Parents Awareness Month this July, we are revisiting eight special episodes on grief and loss, hosted by our original founder, Kelli Kelley, and bereaved parent, Keira Sorrells.

We hope these stories make you feel seen. A reminder that every episode is centered on death and dying, so make sure to take necessary breaks or step away and come back when you’re ready.

Claire and Charles George share the story of their son, Thomas, who was born with a congenital heart defect and passed away at the age of three. They candidly discuss the profound grief that followed his death, how they supported one another through loss, and the challenges of grieving as a couple. Their inspiring conversation highlights how they transformed their heartbreak into a legacy of service, channeling their grief into helping and supporting other families facing similar journeys.
