After a much needed break, Felicia and Karega return to SOL Affirmations with profound reflections on life's vastness. After welcoming their son Amor-Ade in January 2024, the couple were delivered the news of the unexpected loss of Felicia's stepfather Charles. This deeply honest conversation explores navigating multiple grief experiences simultaneously and discovering that grief and gratitude coexist in unexpected ways.

This episode (recorded in Jan 2025) marks an evolution for SOL Affirmations as they commit to exploring grief in all the places it exists not just neonatal loss, but relationship changes, life transitions, and the many forms grief takes in daily life. It's a powerful reminder that there is no singular way to grieve, that comparison steals beauty from individual grief journeys, and that the practice of sitting with grief together continues to grow love deeper.

In this episode from 2023 Felicia and Karega explore why September holds profound significance as a "holy month of miracles and wonders" in their grief journey. As they approached the fourth birthday of their daughter Kamaiu SOL, they discuss the changing nature of grief, the courage required to acknowledge pain as self-love, and the transformative power of speaking their daughter's name every single day.

Felicia shares a powerful affirmation: "Acknowledging the pain in my grief is an act of self-love." She reflects on how grief changes even when you think you've mastered it, and the gratitude she feels for having had time and space to process her emotions after Kamaiu's death before welcoming their daughter Kamali.

Karega distinguishes between miracles and wonders. Miracles are good things that happen, while wonders are unexplained occurrences that serve as indicators to keep going. He shares two profound encounters from one week where speaking Kamaiu's name led to deep connections.

This episode addresses the rarely discussed experience of angel fatherhood. Karega explains why he declared September a holy month for himself, creating space for his experiences to have voice and remembrance.
