    A Heartbroken Mother Was Ready to Give Up—Until One Dream Changed Her Entire Healing Journey

    · Grief & Happiness

    Through loss, heartbreak, and unexpected signs, this mother’s journey reveals the power of hope in the most unexpected places.


    In today's episode, I'm joined by Bernadette Payne, a writer, speaker, and advocate for grief support, who has transformed personal tragedy into a mission of healing. A psychology graduate and devoted mother, Bernadette has experienced profound loss—the deaths of her brother, mother, several close friends, and most heartbreakingly, her 17-year-old son. Her journey through grief led her to explore spirituality and near-death experiences, offering her comfort and a deeper understanding of the afterlife. Through writing and speaking, she now helps others navigate loss, emphasizing the power of love, connection, and personal growth.


    Throughout this episode, Bernadette shares how each loss shaped her path, from the death of her brother at 18, which first sparked her interest in near-death experiences, to the devastating loss of her teenage son, which brought unimaginable grief. Yet, in the depths of sorrow, she found solace—through dreams in which her son appeared, offering strength, and through writing, which became a crucial outlet for healing. Now, as she works on a book and a podcast, Bernadette is committed to guiding others through loss with wisdom, compassion, and the belief that while grief is painful, healing is possible through faith, connection, and personal growth.

Louise also discusses the role of reading and writing in understanding human emotions, reflecting on her career as a teacher and how fiction can help readers process their own losses. Finally, she reveals how the non-linear structure of her novel mirrors the way people navigate grief, with memory playing a central role in her storytelling.
