What if the pain of loss could become the foundation for growth and transformation? 🌱 In this deeply moving episode of Grief 2 Growth, host Brian Smith welcomes Dolores Cruz and Allison Alison—two shining light parents who share their journeys of healing after the unimaginable loss of their children.

Her journey with Helping Parents Heal has empowered her to support other parents navigating the path of grief while maintaining a vibrant connection with her son.
