Transforming Grief into Kindness: Jeanette’s Story of Healing and Inspiration
Episode 38
Sunday, 29 June, 2025
In Episode 38 of The Lost Child Podcast, we sit down with Jeanette, whose son Ben tragically stopped breathing in front of her at home. Paramedics arrived and rushed Ben to the hospital; subsequently, he was transferred to a trauma hospital. Unfortunately, Ben passed away from the incident. It was determined that Ben had croup, which caused his airway to close. After his passing, Jeanette turned her grief into something powerful. She started small, giving away books and creating small art pieces, which eventually became known as "Ben’s Bells." These bells are now distributed worldwide, with their own website sharing Ben's story and their community impact. Jeanette's journey didn’t stop there. She returned to the University of Arizona to study kindness and now serves as the Director of the Science of Kindness Community Collective. She holds a PhD and continues to explore how kindness affects our lives, focusing not on the outcomes but the actions of kindness itself. Jeanette’s perspective on life, surrendering to the unknown, and transforming tragic experiences into purpose is truly inspiring. In this episode, Jeanette shares her story of surviving, thriving, and finding fulfillment in the aftermath of unimaginable loss.
