Saying Hello, Then Saying Goodbye - The Unspoken Grief of Losing a Child

Season 1 Episode 7
A child dying before the parents is not what is "supposed" to happen - It feels "incongruent".  However, it happens quite often! 

Whether to suicide, natural causes, accidents, birth defects - saying goodbye to a child is one of the most difficult things to navigate.

Tune in as I discuss my personal experience with losing a child, how it connects to my professional experiences, the never answered questions, how to move on without forgetting and keeping the memories alive, navigating all the stages of grief over the years, what to tell surviving children who lost a sibling, how to help the siblings navigate their own grief, how men and women may grieve very differently, and how to heal from within, the emotional trauma.
