Listen Later

There’s plenty of grief that we expect as parents of medically complex kids... But what about those little pangs that seem to come out of nowhere?

In this mini episode, we’re sharing the surprising and often oddly specific things we grieve as parents of medically complex children, from missing out on birthdays to struggling at beach trips. This is one episode that will make you feel SO SEEN.

Also, huge thank you to our sponsor Functional Formularies! They make incredible, nutritious food for our tube-fed kids that’s easy to access and use. Honestly, if our kids are eating Functional Formularies formula, they’re probably eating better than us!
