🎙 Out of Control

👣
You’ve probably heard the phrase “members only,” a special club with exclusive access. Think Costco, country clubs, and elite lounges at the airport. But there’s one membership no one ever wants, one that June Kraholik found herself part of in the most gut-wrenching way possible: the invisible club of grieving mothers.

In 2012, June lost her two-year-old son Kaleb, and life as she knew it stopped making sense. Grief didn’t just knock on the door; it overtook her. But out of that devastation, June slowly found a way to transform her pain into purpose. Her debut nonfiction book, Momma, You Don’t Heal, offers an honest, raw, and deeply personal look at what it means to lose a child and live beyond the unthinkable.

💡 Episode Highlights:

🎟 Why grief can feel like a “membership club” no one ever signs up for

💔 What happens when grief becomes something you live with instead of healing from

🧠 The emotional and psychological toll of unresolved grief backed by startling statistics

🗣 The social stigma surrounding child loss and why many grieving mothers feel invisible

✍️ How June used storytelling as a lifeline and why writing helped her process the unimaginable

🕊 A message to mothers who’ve lost children: You’re not alone, and your story still matters

📊 Did you know? Studies show that unresolved grief can lead to serious health issues, including depression, anxiety, immune dysfunction, and even heart disease. One survey found that nearly 1 in 4 bereaved parents experience symptoms of PTSD. (Source: NIH, American Psychological Association)
