Special Tuesday Episode release:

In this heartfelt and incredibly important episode of Two Girls With Grief, we sit down with Kelly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Camp Erin Online Programs Manager at Eluna. With more than eleven years of experience supporting grieving children and teens, Kelly has dedicated her career to ensuring young people feel seen, understood, and never alone in their grief.

Eluna and Camp Erin are nationally recognized for their transformative grief programs for kids, and Kelly plays a pivotal role in expanding their mission into the digital space. Since joining the team in 2022, she has been leading the launch of Eluna’s first-ever direct-care online support programs — a vital lifeline for families navigating loss, especially those impacted by the pandemic and frontline work.

Together, we explore how grief shows up for kids, what adults often misunderstand, and the practical steps caregivers can take to create safety, openness, and connection for young grievers.

• How grief looks different in children vs. adults

• Why grief often appears in “waves” or “bursts” for kids

• Common emotional + behavioral signs that a child is grieving

• What makes Camp Erin such a transformative experience for grieving kids

• How peer support normalizes grief for children and teens

• The blend of traditional camp fun + intentional grief activities that helps kids feel safe and understood

• The importance of connection in healing — and why kids often open up more with peers than adults

• What caregivers often get wrong (and how to gently get it right)

• Age-appropriate ways to talk to children about death and grief

• How grieving adults can support grieving children even while carrying their own pain

• The power of “sitting in the mud” with a child instead of fixing or minimizing

• Kelly’s vision for accessible digital grief support

• Why online programs matter — especially post-pandemic

• How these resources will help families who traditionally haven’t had access to grief care
