Special Mother’s Day Bonus Episode

Available May 10, 2026

Mother’s Day can hold many emotions at once. Love. Gratitude. Longing. Joy. Silence. Memory. Grief.

In this special bonus episode of Travel thru Grief, Ellen Beckemeyer creates a quiet space for anyone carrying both love and loss at the same time. Whether you are missing your mother, grieving a child, navigating estrangement, honoring a grandmother, longing to become a mother, or simply feeling the weight of change, this episode is for you.

Through gentle storytelling, reflection, warmth, and honest conversation, we explore how grief can exist alongside tenderness, memory, humor, and hope. This is not an episode about “fixing” grief. It is about making room for it while still finding your way forward.

Topics woven throughout this episode include:

• The emotional complexity of Mother’s Day
• Love that continues after loss
• The invisible emotional workload many women carry
• Remembering mothers, grandmothers, and chosen family
• Loneliness during meaningful holidays
• Holding space for yourself without pressure
• The quiet ways people continue to live inside us

This bonus episode reflects the heart of the Travel thru Grief mission: You don’t need fixing. You need a way forward.

If today feels heavy, you are not alone. If today feels beautiful and painful at the same time, you are not alone. If you are learning how to carry both grief and gratitude together, you are not alone.

Thank you for allowing Travel thru Grief to walk beside you.
