From Loss to Sea of Hope with Christina O’Mara

Published on March 4, 2026

What do you do when your world stops but everyone else keeps moving?

Christina O’Mara joins Conversations with Rich Bennett to share the heartbreaking loss of her daughter Ariella and how that grief led to the creation of the Sea of Hope Foundation. This is not just a story about loss. It is about lifting the veil, saying their names, and turning waves of grief into ripples of hope.

In this episode, you will hear:

• What it was like delivering Ariella at 20 weeks
• The hidden financial and emotional costs families face
• How siblings process grief differently
• Why partners must communicate through loss
• How Sea of Hope supports families with funeral costs and scholarships
