The Story Behind Awakened by Loss

There are moments in life that divide everything into before and after.

The day I lost my son, Kyle, was one of those moments — the world didn’t just change, it shattered. In the pieces left behind, I found myself searching for meaning, for connection, for any sign that love could still reach me from beyond this world.

That search — through the ache and the endless questions — became the heartbeat of Awakened by Loss.

The Beginning of Awakened by Loss

I didn’t plan to build a business. I just needed a way to breathe again. Creating became my therapy — the quiet space where memories and meaning could coexist.

Little by little, what started as one grieving mother’s way of coping grew into something meant to comfort others too. Through words, crafts, and products, I found a way to honor Kyle’s presence, and slowly, a path opened to help others who are grieving as well.

This prompted journal was created for mothers whose child now lives in spirit. Each page is gently guided as if written from your child — leading you through reflection, healing, and connection. Every prompt is designed to help you feel your child’s love still present in daily life — to move from unbearable silence to quiet conversation, from aching absence to meaningful signs.

 

Together, they form a space where grief can be seen, love can be expressed, and memories can live out loud.

Why Talking About Grief Matters

We live in a world that struggles to talk about grief. People often stay silent — afraid to say the wrong thing. The result? Those of us who are grieving can feel invisible.

The products, stories, and words here are more than items — they’re conversation starters. They say, “It’s okay to talk about them. It’s okay to remember.” By wearing, gifting, or sharing these items, we open doors for connection between the grieving and those who want to understand.
