Summary

For those of you that aren’t aware, my husband died suddenly of a blood clot ten days after a minor Achilles surgery. The grief has been all consuming for me and my three children. I know my podcast, youtube channel, social media posts and emails have abruptly stopped almost a month ago and I didn’t have the energy to even explain why.

I was touched by all the outpouring of love from around the world from those that heard about my loss. I wanted to thank everyone who reached out, mailed me cards and donated to the gofundme account that circulated FB. The love was definitely felt from all directions and was so appreciated.

After he died I decided to close my practice, as my hours were only evenings and weekends, the time my kids will need me the most.

My online resources, classes and AT Parenting Community membership will be my sole focus moving forward. Currently I plan on returning to my online work on April 1st.

I made this video to be played at my husband’s funeral more for his co-workers than for me. Even though it is raw and vulnerable I was encouraged to share it more broadly and I decided to do so in the hopes it could impact even one more person to live a life full of love and connection.

To help grieving children deal with the loss of their parent, you can donate in honor of Jimmie Daniels at https://billysplace.me. They have been a complete godsend for our family during this time.

We are still grieving, so please accept my apologies for not commenting or responding if you reach out. I am going to be staying off social media until I return on April 1st.

0:00.0	Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the
0:08.2	chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD.
0:12.1	This show is for educational purposes and is not intended to replace the guidance of
0:16.5	a qualified professional.
0:18.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:22.3	Hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.
0:28.7	Today is a different kind of episode.
0:33.4	I have been missing for the last, I don't know, almost, almost a month, and many of you
0:41.5	already know that I suddenly lost my husband on February 1st, and I wanted to come on
0:48.8	into a podcast episode, hopefully a super short one, but we'll see.

1:03.1	where I went.
1:04.4	I'm not one of those irresponsible people who just drop off the face of the earth, so
1:09.6	if I drop off the face of the earth, something really bad has happened, and it's taking
1:13.6	me a few weeks to get up, the energy, to be able to record something, and I want you
1:20.1	to know that I'm coming back, and I want to have people not get support eventually,
1:26.0	so I'm going to tell you a little bit about what happened, and then definitely don't
1:29.6	have your kids listening to this episode, so if you're in the car or if you're like playing
1:34.0	this and your kids are around, even if you think they don't care or won't bother them,
1:38.7	do me a favor and listen to this in private, because I deal with, you know, childhead anxiety
