Michigan Pediatrician Marcy Larson is a mother of four, who lost her 14-year-old son, Andy, in a car crash in August of 2018. She looked around for a podcast on child loss and couldn't find one, so she started her own. In her "Losing a Child: Always Andy’s Mom," podcast, Marcy interviews parents who have lost children and has found a purpose in her pain. She also chronicles coping with child loss in her blog.
Marcy and Angela share what they have both learned in the process of blogging and podcasting about their grief and sharing it with the world.
