Nathalie with Lisa Boehm on the Loss of Her Teenage Daughter | Episode 16

October 24, 2022 By Nathalie Himmelrich 6 Comments

Lisa Boehm

Lisa Boehm heard a knock at the door just as she had gone to bed, and it was the police coming to let her know that her teenage daughter had died in a head-on collision.
Lisa tells us how she picked up the pieces of her shattered life and how she found ways to thrive and not just survive. From getting support from other moms in her community she now offers support to grieving moms.  

Lisa says:

I think I learned a lot from other grieving moms who were further down the path. Sometimes it was just little snippets that they would say or different things… They gave me hope and I think learning that everybody copes with grief differently, that little nugget right there was enough to carry us through.

About this week’s guest

Lisa K. Boehm’s life changed forever when her daughter died suddenly in a car accident.

Now she focuses on gratitude and living intentionally as a way to honour her daughter’s memory.
