Episode 11 of season 2 is all about children and grief. We get to speak with special guest Katie Eisold about her experience working with grieving children and families. We discuss the prevalence of grief in childhood and some of the different ways it can show up, along with ideas for supporting both grieving children and caregivers. We open up about our own experiences as grieving kids and teens, reminding others they are not alone, while also being careful to honor and recognize each person’s experience of loss as meaningful and unique.
