We can experience loss and still choose to live, and I think that's really at the heart of our message.
How do you navigate life after an unimaginable loss? In this moving episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, host Blu Robinson sits down with Alison and Desmond Lomax to talk about the heart-wrenching experience of losing their son Mateen to suicide in November 2019. Alison, a certified fitness instructor and life coach, and Desmond, a licensed clinical mental health therapist and trauma-informed care specialist, share their journey through grief, pain, love, and ultimately, finding purpose again.
The Lomaxes open up about the overwhelming emotions that accompany such a loss and the steps they've taken to heal. They discuss the concept of 'grief work', which goes beyond traditional therapy to include human connection and community support. This episode isn't just about sorrow; it's about resilience and the strength to keep moving forward even when it feels impossible.
Alison and Desmond's story is a testament to the power of love and the importance of finding meaning in life after a devastating event. Whether you're dealing with your own grief or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and a sense of hope.
