190: Hey Loss Mama With Hails and Hayden Part 2
To be continued on our conversation from the previous episode with Hails.
We have this crazy expectation of human beings - especially women - that we need to be amazing in all aspects. On how we describe ourselves to be the glass half-empty or the glass half-full.
In building the Hey Loss Mama community, Hailey’s goal is to help moms to feel their emotions. After Hayden died, there’s a realization of needing to have a friend - someone who knows her struggle and who doesn't need to explain herself. She created the community with the intent to gather 100 moms and like connect to 5 people personally. Hails have been humbled and honored to grow as a community - feeling that connection to over a thousand moms.
The realities and realizations:
It's scary to put yourself out there.
It takes so much vulnerability to talk to a stranger on the internet for comfort in joining a community
It works for Hails to let people grieve whenever they want to. Sometimes you need to be reminded that you are free
Facing the dark side and feeling your negativity since you can't find the light if not with the dark
You want to appreciate the moment but you're also reliving the past and you're terrified of the future
Hails’ words to all grieving moms: I hear you, I see you, and I validate you
