Episode description
What would happen if we gave kids space and support to grieve? This week, I’m talking to Jana DeCristofaro from the Dougy Center for Grieving Children and Families. We’re discussing why repeating the facts of what happened is often necessary for kids, why you might consider making a scrapbook or written story of a child’s grief, and how those of us who are childless/child-free can support the grieving kids around us.
