The Birth Ease Podcast: Helping endure infant Loss with Gary Vogel

Our president, Gary Vogel had the chance to be on the The Birth Ease Podcast to discuss helping endure infant loss. Gary Vogel, is a LMHC perinatal grief expert and founder of HEAL, a Central Florida support group for bereaved parents.

In the podcast episode, Michelle and Gary discuss how the loss of a child disrupts our perception of the natural order of things, what grief is and isn’t, and the 3 tasks of grieving. 

Thank you to Michelle Smith for having Gary on her podcast check out more about her show at BirthEaseServices.com

HOPE

Through our current time of struggle, we have become more aware of many things.  In this time of physical distancing, we’ve become aware of our need for emotional connection.  In this time of uncertainty, we’ve become aware of what we’re sure of, that we’re not alone in this struggle.

As we begin to emerge from this time of struggle, we become aware of the importance of hope in how we move forward.

We, at the Angel of Hope of Central Florida, invite you to post your thoughts about hope.  Feel free to share a thought, a song lyric, a movie or book quote, a biblical verse, or any insight about how hope is important to you, especially at this time.  

And we hope you’ll share this site with others as a place to share with everyone the value of hope.
