A Mother's Heart: Navigating Grief and Caregiving Challenges After Losing Bella Brave

In this heartfelt episode of Grieving Gracefully with Kelly podcast, we are joined by Kyla, the mother of Bella Brave, whose remarkable journey touched thousands.

Kyla Thomson is a former teacher turned medical mom, and now a bereaved mother of her beloved daughter, Bella Brave. Alongside her husband Lyle and her strong-hearted son Waylon, who helps heal her heart daily, Kyla has navigated profound personal loss with courage and grace. She shares her journey on TikTok, where she has amassed 7.5M followers under @kylact. Originally started as a way for her and Bella to inspire others to be brave, Kyla continues to uplift & guide people through their hardest battles, keeping Bella’s spirit and legacy of bravery alive.

Kyla opens up about Bella’s story, the emotional toll of being her primary caregiver, and the challenges she faced during Bella’s toughest times.

We dive into the deeply personal experience of losing a child, as Kyla shares how she’s been navigating her grief since Bella’s passing, and the role that support systems played for her. From the lack of resources after loss to the transition away from caregiving, Kyla offers invaluable insight into the realities of life after such a profound loss.

We explore the importance of self-care, finding hope amidst grief, and the online community that embraced her story. Kyla also provides advice for other parents and caregivers who may face similar heartache, sharing her thoughts on how to emotionally and practically prepare for the days after loss.

Finally, Kyla speaks to how she honors Bella’s legacy every day and what brings her moments of peace along the way.
