This YouTube video features Betsy Guerra recounting the loss of her daughter and her experience in a bereavement support group. Finding the group’s focus on long-term grief discouraging, she reframed her identity from ‘bereaved parent’ to ‘chosen mother of an angel’ and founded a supportive community oriented toward hope rather than prolonged grief, ending with a call-to-action to join via a link.

Chapters

After I lost my daughter, I went to a support group for bereaved parents, and I left there feeling more hopeless than I came in. Everybody there was sharing how after 10 years, they still hadn't been able to move forward, and they were still grieving. Deeply grieving. And then one person said, we just have to accept that we're part of a club that we didn't choose to.
Be a part of.
And I remember thinking, I am not.
Going to be part of that club. I am going to make my own club. So instead of.
Being the bereaved, grieving.
Parent who lost.
A child, I became the chosen mother of an angel.
And I created my own club.
And now I want to.
Invite you.
To join a club of hope, not grief.
Allow me to.
