Healing in Connection: Finding Strength After Parent Loss with Steph Bayan, LMFT

About this episode

In this episode, Jess and Liz talk with therapist Steph Bayan about navigating grief after parent loss and the importance of community support.

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Steph Bayan, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Rhinebeck, NY, who specializes in supporting women who have lost their mothers—and is now expanding her work to include groups for those grieving the loss of a parent. Steph shares her compassionate approach to grief work, drawing from somatic practices, attachment theory, and relational healing to help clients feel grounded, seen, and supported as they navigate loss. Together, Annette and Steph explore what it means to grieve in community, the lifelong evolution of parent loss, and how therapy can help us rewrite our stories with gentleness and connection. Whether you’re walking through your own grief or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers insight, empathy, and hope. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us https://www.tiktok.com/@the.grieving.sisters https://www.instagram.com/the_grieving_sisters/ __________________________________________________________________ #SiblingLoss #GriefJourney #HealingAfterLoss #GrievingTogether #SiblingGrief #LossAndLove #HealingThroughGrief…
