Ashley Howard's Story: Ep 18

March 02, 2024 • Michele Davis & Amy Durham • Season 1 • Episode 18

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

Christi Howard, one of the Atlanta founding Warrior Moms, gave such a moving interview! From wisdom about how to give grace and seek help in early grief years, particularly on dark days to wisdom about mothering other children while grieving, Amy and learned so much from Christi about being intentional about finding joy. Her message loud and clear was that we each deserve to find happiness again...while learning to carry such deep sadness.

Hearing about Christi's vibrant, independent, and creative daughter Ashley was also such a joy. One story was about her 15-year learner's permit with her proud decision to be an organ donor; little did they know that Ashley's decision would help them answer a doctor's question about donating Ashley's organs. This story is heartbreaking and beautiful, such a testament to the Howard family's love for one another and their really hard work.

Thank you, sweet friend, for sharing your priceless advice. We love you dearly!
