This episode is for those of you with people in your life who don’t understand why you are still struggling with the death of your child. Laura understands what that is like, because she had someone tell her that she needed to just move on.

Let’s face it, the people around us are not going to understand and, how could they? But it still hurts when family or friends are so insensitive and say things like this to us.

In this podcast, Laura makes five suggestions on how to help yourself handle these kinds of remarks.

Hopefully these five suggestions will help you deal with those in your life who think grief is a short event in time, instead of the life-long process that it is.
