Ashmeeta openly shares about being widowed and having her mom, whom she was close with, die. She talks about supporting her kids through their grief, how she both gave them space to grieve as well as keeping eyes on them, describing herself as an Eagle Mama.

The grief support group Ashmeeta mentions is Grief Share which can be found all over. https://www.griefshare.org/

Ashmeeta Rama Madhav is an educator, resilience and grief support advocate/expert, entrepreneur, author, and lifelong learner. She has been intimately acquainted with grief since her early twenties, having experienced miscarriage, rejection, and the loss of her parents and husband, which exposed her to a range of profound emotions. She is the founder of Growth StoryHub; an organization created to inspire and empower Individuals who have lost a loved one and are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, numb, and vulnerable. At the heart of her book, WHAT’S YOUR STORY is her passion for helping others and sharing her experiences. Ashmeeta's desire is for others to recognize that profound loss need not signify the end of one's story; rather, it can mark the commencement of a new and meaningful chapter. Her story is one of love, acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, growth, and self-discovery.
