Typically we steer clear of breaking down grief by type of relationship, but today we're making an exception. In this episode we talk about the experience of grieving the death of an adult child. This is a topic that has been requested on many occasions, both because it is pervasive and also often overlooked. If you've experienced this personally or love someone who has, we hope this episode offers some insights and ideas for how we as a society can be better equipped to understand this unique type of loss.
