In a world filled with wonder and curiosity, one of the most delicate and challenging subjects we face with our children is death. How do we navigate these conversations with empathy, honesty, and sensitivity? In this first episode of the Geriatric Mom Podcast, I invite you into my world where for the first time, I was faced with a decision about just what to tell my eight-year-old about death, funerals, and all that comes in between. With Madison's (my 8-year-old) permission, you will also get to hear directly from her about the experience, her feelings and emotions, and what she wants you to know about talking with children about death.
