Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan · Confidence Classic: How to Reconnect With Your Inner Compass with Saje Dyer & Serena Dyer Pisoni · 25 Mar 2026 podcast

When my stepson passed away, and I think this is the case for any parent or step-parent or grandparent or aunt or uncle that loses...

a child essentially that they, that they love the guilt is ever present because for me, at least all I could do was think about the times that I was not good to him.

And all I could do was think about the times that I could have been better.

And I knew I could have been better in those moments.

And I still chose not to.

And I,

I was consumed with self-loathing because that's all I could think about when he died was I could have been better, I should have been better, and I wasn't.

And I honestly will say that the reason I was able to transform that experience from one of...

extreme pain to one of love was A, because my husband, my stepson's father, who raised him as a single father his entire life, he was so encouraging of reminding me that when my dad died, just two years before Mason did, that

I was aware that in order to connect with my dad from the other side, I had to become like where he was now.

I had to connect with him from a place of love because that's where my dad was now, was only a place of love.

And my husband was so encouraging in wanting me to remember that Mason would not want me to feel anything but love.

for him, from him, and that I was punishing myself unnecessarily, that, you know, I was a good stepmom and that I was focusing on these small things.

So my husband offered me such grace in encouraging me to remember that

I could connect with Mason, even now that he was on the other side from that place of love.

And that if I felt I needed to ask for his forgiveness, I could do that.

And so I did.

And so I ended up having this crazy dream after I...

I wouldn't even allow myself to feel comfortable mourning him because I felt responsible for his death.

Even though it was an accidental drug overdose and I wasn't even in the same state, I still felt as though I had pushed him away so many times that that overdose was somehow partially my fault.
