Joy does not mean you have forgotten the person you lost.In this episode, I speak with author and podcast host Lee Mackay about losing her five-month-old daughter, Taylin, to spinal muscular atrophy and the spiritual connection that helped her survive unimaginable grief.Lee shares how Taylin appeared healthy at birth before becoming critically ill, why she trusted her instincts when she knew something was wrong, and how her daughter’s short life became the beginning of a powerful legacy.We talk about the message Lee received from Taylin on the night she passed, the signs that continue appearing 18 years later, and how dragonflies, rainbows, music and moments in nature remind her family that Taylin is still with them.This conversation explores how grief and happiness can exist together, how trauma can continue affecting the body long after the event has ended, and why healing does not mean forgetting or moving on from the person you love.In this episode, we discuss: Why grief and joy can exist in the same life  Lee’s experience of losing Taylin to spinal muscular atrophy  The importance of trusting your instincts when something feels wrong  The message Lee received from Taylin after her passing  How spiritual signs can bring comfort after loss  Why a short life can still leave a lasting legacy  The impact grief and PTSD can have years later  How writing, fundraising and podcasting became part of Lee’s purpose  Why healing means learning to carry love and loss together  How sharing your story may help someone facing their darkest moment Taylin was only here physically for five months, yet her life continues to influence her family and the wider community 18 years later.Her story is proof that love does not end when a physical life ends.Grief remains.
