Finding Your Way after Catastrophic Loss featuring Dr Kim Harms

We're Not Fine

In this LIVE recorded episode, Doug and Dr Talia have a conversation with Kim Harms, DDS about her journey through multiple catastrophic losses in her life; the resilience and grace with which she came out of the darkest grief pit, as well as the incredible wisdom and advice she gives to other survivors of painful losses of loved ones. She lost both her mother and her 19 year old son to suicide, and her husband from what she is certain was a broken heart. This episode will give you such compassion for yourself and empathy for others in similar painful circumstances. We also hope you will be inspired to fight your way back to yourself, as Dr Kim says, and fight your way back to your remaining loved ones.
