Alayla lost her lizard last week and it was an experience for the entire family. Paige shares information to help you support your(self) and your kid through the loss of a loved one. The three main takeaways are: how to "make space" for grief, strategies to help validate their experience, and an understanding of "rituals" and how they support us, and you, in processing. Paige ends the episode with three book recommendations and activities that you could use for additional support at home.

As promised, here are the links to the book recommendations:
