Kasey Carmona
Kasey Carmona is a former performing arts teacher turned full-time mom to two boys. When her second son was born with a life-threatening critical illness, Kasey was forced to surrender herself (and her son) into the great big hands of Love. Kasey and her adorable family lives in Atlanta, GA.
In today’s episode Kasey shares her story of life and love, and the great life and loss of her second son CJ. In May of 2021, a team of doctors sat on Kasey’s couch to share that it was time to take her son off life support. Kasey’s story and journey captures both joy and suffering, and she so beautifully shares why they’re on the same spectrum and what changes when we see the beauty in all things. When we embrace both joy and suffering we allow ourselves the opportunity to live a fulfilling life. The truth is we don’t know how many moments we have with the ones we love the most. The proverbial “Last Supper” became a reality for her family just a few short months after CJ’s birth, and in those last minutes turned days, they saw life, death and the divine dance in their home and hearts.
“When we choose to see the beauty in all things despite the incredible tragedy, we will intimately know joy and it can propel us to do hard but great things, and love. Our story of heart and hope continues as we are working through grief.”
