Processing the Loss of a Child with Nikki Mark

This week on The Most Days Show, Brent sits down with Nikki Mark, author of Tommy’s Field: A Story of Love, Loss, and Transformation. Nikki shares the heartbreaking story of losing her 12-year-old son, Tommy, who went to sleep one night and did not wake up. She reflects on life before this tragedy, her close bond with Tommy, and how this unimaginable loss reshaped her world.  As Nikki recounts her path forward, she describes the journey of creating Tommy’s Field, a community soccer field in Los Angeles, as a tribute to her son’s spirit. Through this project, Nikki found a way to honor Tommy’s love for play while offering a place for other children to enjoy and celebrate life. 

This conversation explores resilience, the importance of community, and the ways Nikki has reconnected with life’s beauty. It's a moving reflection on love and transformation. If you would like to donate to or learn more about Tommy’s Field, you can visit tm23foundation.org. Thank you for listening.
