In this final episode of our interview, Deb Bedula and I continue the conversation on grief, healing, and the ripple effects of compassion and connection.

We talk about supporting children, stabilizing parents, and embracing continuing bonds with those we've lost. 

And though it’s getting a little better, we lament the lack of adequate grief education for counselors and coaches. Susan shares how she learned about grief and how to support the grieving which went way beyond her own personal experiences of grief. 

Since Deb’s parents died during COVID, we talked about the impact of COVID on everyone who was grieving during that time.

Topics Covered:

• The impact of a parent's grief on children and the importance of stabilization.
• How children's understanding of death evolves with age.
• The role of continuing bonds in healthy grief processes.
• Challenges during COVID-19 and the importance of social support and shared rituals..
• Encouraging small, meaningful acts to honor loved ones without pressure to "go big."
• The ripple effect of giving back and how loss can inspire transformative action
