TW: Conversations about Child Loss

In this heartfelt episode of Wellness Rebranded, we dive into the delicate topic of grieving the loss of a child. Our special guest, Marie Burgess, a licensed clinical professional counselor and grief therapist, shares insights on supporting parents through this profound grief journey. With years of experience helping parents process loss, Marie discusses compassionate ways to approach grief, both as someone experiencing it and as a supportive friend or family member.

Whether you are grieving yourself or wish to support someone else, this episode offers compassionate insights and practical tips to navigate the journey of loss.

In our conversation, we discuss:

  • Marie’s Path to Grief Counseling and the loss of her son, Harvey. 
  • The Power of Vulnerability and Connection, and how sharing grief with others can provide critical support and healing.
  • How you can support loved ones through loss through their grieving journey
  • Practical ways to be present for someone grieving, including specific phrases and gestures that offer true comfort.
  • Why avoiding hard emotions doesn’t support healing and how we can create spaces for open dialogue on grief.
  • The Importance of Consistent Support and why it’s vital to continue showing up months and even years after a loss.
