#64 The Trauma and Grief of a Type 1 Diagnosis with Brooke Giordano

Today's topic, is not one that is talked about often but one that I and my my guest, Brooke Giordano, think is very important to acknowledge. Trauma and grief are words often associated with horrific events, major accidents or the loss of a loved one. I would argue to say that receiving a type 1 diagnosis is a traumatic event, one that may people grieve in cycles throughout the course of their life. Brooke Giordano is a marriage and family therapist and a fellow type 1 mom whose daughter, Amelia, was diagnosed around the same time and at the same age as my daughter, Sarah. Listen in as Brooke and I discuss the trauma and grief of a type 1 diabetes diagnosis and how it effects the whole family. Enjoy!
