The loss of a child creates an enduring grief for a parent. The parents sharing stories on this podcast deal with that grief forever. They share their stories of how they manage that grief and how the grief, at times, can still overwhelm them. Managing grief is a journey. There is no easy fix or way to avoid it but there are lessons from others that can help manage the grief.
Tony & Kelly Trent discuss their journey of grief after the loss of their son Tyler to a rare bone cancer. Tyler’s story is unique in that his story went national. Tyler’s story has been told on TV, videos, articles and a book. He is still an inspiration to millions and his name and likeness continues to raise millions of dollars for pediatric cancer research through the Tyler Trent Foundation.
The Trent’s have been so thankful for all the care and love shown to their family. At the same time, they are grieving parents. Like all of us who have lost a child there is a grieving process that can take you to dark places in life. Tony and Kelly talk about the impacts the grief took on their personal lives and their family. Their willingness to candidly share their personal story of grief aligns with what so many of us have experienced. As Kelly say’s “grief is brutal”.
Grief is personal for each of us. The support people in life that show up in unexpected ways can help impact the recovery. Tony and Kelly, like most of us that have lost a child, are a work in progress on the recovery journey. Their story reflects the dichotomy of conflicting views that can both be true at the same time. An outside look at their life may view all the positives that have come as a result of Tyler’s journey, which is true. The other side that is also true, is the personal grief and pain that loss of Tyler has impacted on their family and personal life. That journey of grief has altered their lives forever.
Their story is inspiring that over time the strongest fundamental core values in life can guide you on the road to recovery. For the Trent’s; faith in God, marriage, their family and a mission to eradicate the cancer that took Tyler life have helped keep their focus on the most important things in life. The road to recovery is long and challenging with daily obstacles and grief that can smack you at any moment.
