Mama Shu: Turning Loss Into Love
Shamayim Harris, known in Detroit as Mama Shu, knows all too well the pain of loss. In 2007 her 2-year-old son Jakobi Ra was killed in a hit and run accident, and in 2021 her other son Chinyelu was murdered. Mama Shu talks with Anderson about how she worked hard to, in her words, “turn my grief into glory and my loss into love.” Focusing on one block in her neighborhood, she began cleaning up blighted properties and has created the non-profit Avalon Village, which aims to be a safe and welcoming space for kids in her community. “This is grief,” she tells Anderson, “it just looks beautiful.”

Infertility
I just listened to Katie‘s story about Everly. Before I had my children, now 34 & 36, I had years of infertility. At one point I wrote a journal entry about my sorrow around not being able to get pregnant. I had had 27 periods to that point. I now know it was a grief that definitely isn’t talked about. Thank you for this series. I have had a lot of loss and so many of these stories hold my heart and validate my feelings.
Amazing
Anderson, the courage you show in sharing your own grief story of loss and bringing these real life stories of others grief is life affirming and so powerful. I applaud you!! And thank you. 🙏🏼
Thank you
Oh Anderson, how much do I enjoy listening to your podcasts. They bring so many different emotions but most of all they bring me appreciation for the little things in life. My 22 year old daughter just lost her boyfriend of 51/2 years in October 2023. He was 21, and we still have no answers as to why. She found him on their couch unconscious. It wasn’t suicide, it wasn’t a drug overdose. We simply do not know. Watching your child in so much pain is on of the worst things I will ever deal with in my life. I want so badly to take her pain away, but I can’t. We just live day by day, sometimes moment to moment and try to live this “new” normal. Keeping her close and keeping her safe. That’s all we can do. What I struggle with the most is what do I say to my child who has lost the love of her life? It’s heartbreaking. Somehow your voice and your interviews give me so much hope. Thank you Anderson!
