Heather shares her experience of losing Jake, her four-year-old son, after a still undiagnosed illness that caused constant seizures. Heather emphasizes the importance of breaking the taboo on grief and finding the light in difficult situations.
She and her husband Brian started Jake's Help From Heaven, a nonprofit organization to provide support for individuals and families confronted with complex medical needs and disabilities. She emphasizes the importance of accepting help from others and building a community of support.
Heather also discusses the challenges faced by families with children who have disabilities and the need for more support and understanding from society.
Heather believes in finding silver linings and staying positive despite the loss of her son. In her recently launched podcast, A Place of Yes, Heather shares stories of resilience and possibility with similarly affected families.
