179 Theresa Gonzalez - A Mother's Journey through Grief and Loss

Theresa is the author of Silent Moms: Healing Our Wounded Souls - a mother's journey through grief and loss. Her journey reveals to us the pain and burden of secrets and unresolved grief. Pregnant at 18, she left her family and small town to live amongst strangers in a maternity home. Months later, she gave birth, relinquished her son, and departed alone, hoping to begin a new life. Instead, she found herself derailed by emotions she could not face and by losses that continued to accumulate. The lack of tools and knowledge needed to address her grief left her ill prepared which led to more destructive behaviours and emotions that lasted for years. This has been the driving force behind Theresa's book - wanting to help others struggling with their adoption experience, whether it was 3 years ago or 30. Her book is a guide for anyone struggling with a loss—someone who feels stuck but desires a better path for their lives. You will find: the courage to acknowledge and accept your situation; a willingness to define, address, and truly feel all of your emotions; the work needed for forgiveness; the strength to discover who you really are (without the baggage); and the determination to see the process through to find peace.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Most important is self-care as you go through your healing journey. It will be an emotional roller coaster, knowing what to do on the tough days.
2. Tools to support you through your journey (mementos, journaling, sharing, connecting)
3. Grief is not linear; it is a process. Grief is not something you get over. It’s learning to address at different stages in our lives, as it may come up time and again.
