About this week’s episode
Today on the podcast I’m speaking with Keem Fares again, the mother of Karina, a spirited intelligent young gymnast, who died in a freak accident when she was 12 years old.
In our conversation, we look back over a decade since Karina’s death, from the early grief to when we worked on the book Surviving My First Year of Child Loss in 2017 to now, 10 years after Karina’s death and the year that Karina would turn twenty.
I highly recommend listening to the first episode (S3E25) with Keem, where she beautifully describes how grief has affected her life, her relationship, and her faith and how it has evolved from pure survival to how she experiences it now.
About this week’s guest
Keem Fares is a non-profit professional who holds a leadership position in financial operations. Originally from Mexico herself, she met her husband in Cairo, Egypt, where they lived for 15 years before moving to San Diego, California in 2011.
Keem struggles to rediscover herself after the accidental death of her 12-year-old daughter, Karina, in 2015. She finds joy in her son Mark, and together with her husband, they rely on their faith in hope. They established Karina’s Joy Foundation to perpetuate Karina’s joyful spirit and giving nature through youth scholarships and acts of kindness.
