**This episode includes sensitive content about people's stories of loss.**

Summary: We continue our 2nd season of Kids are Philanthropists, Too!, with the second of two episodes about grief, the most pressing concern amongst 3-5th grade participants in our programs in 2023.

Our special guest is Ted Wiard, Executive Director and Founder of Golden Willow Retreat.

Our hosts: Season 2 is hosted by Amy Neugebauer, Executive Director of The Giving Square. along with 12-13 year old returning hosts (Jayden, Alona, Leo, Ismahil, Ibrahim, Sam) and our new 9-11 year hosts (Rita, Aoife, and Jo).

Want to engage more about the topic of grief with kids? The Giving Square suggests these books (recommended by the Children and Teens team at Politics and Prose) as starting points for kids (and former kids!) of all ages:

  • Jenny Mei is Sad by Tracy Subisak
  • The Tenth Good Thing About Barney by Judith Viorst

The series: "Kids are Philanthropists, Too!" demonstrates that we can all come together and talk about personal, complicated things, no matter our age. Like the podcast? Spread the word! Get involved, follow and support The Giving Square.
