Warrior Moms: Surviving Child Loss

A club no one wants to be in because the initiation is too big of a sacrifice: the loss of a child. Unthinkable. Unimaginable. Warrior Moms is local group in north Atlanta filled with strong, courageous, funny, and fiercely loving women who are surviving and thriving amidst horrific grief.

This podcast features Amy Durham and Michele Davis, two of the Warrior Moms, who will guide listeners through their grief journey. Every fourth or fifth episode will showcase another Warrior Mom, the trauma they endured, stories about their beloved child, and tips on how they get out of bed every day.

Each and every Warrior Moms' story is different, the children and the loss is different, but one thing they share is the decision to live. They have figured out how to live life putting one foot in the past and the other moving forward. Yes, it's beyond awful. Yes, it's hard. Yes, it's worth it. And yes, they say, you can survive child loss AND thrive.

Alec Davis' Story: Ep14

January 16, 2024 • Michele Davis & Amy Durham • Season 1 • Episode 15

Thank you so much for listening! We'd love to hear from you---what you would love to hear, what you like, what helped, etc. With love, Warrior Moms Michele & Amy

Amy Durham shares about her 24-year old son Alec who went missing for 10 days and after a large police grid-search, he was found. She talks about his struggles with addiction and how this led to his final breath, yet it is certainly not what you expect. Amy discusses her advocacy for recovery and continuing to celebrate Alec's life beyond the life of an addict.

Amy and Jeff created a community event called Alec's Pizza Party. It is an event filled with music, games, food, and fun--all honoring Alec's life and educating others about addiction. Their slogan is based off of Alec's first tattoo, which reads: ME---First, I must find happiness within ME before I can find it outside of ME. More information can be found here: amydurham.me
