As I Live and Grieve®
It’s time for grief to come out of the basement, or wherever we have stuffed it to avoid talking about it. When you suffer a loss you need support, comfort, and a safe place to heal. What you are experiencing is painful but normal, unique but similar, surreal but very, very real. As grief advocates we understand and want to provide support, knowledge and comfort as you continue to live and grieve. Host, Kathy Gleason; Producer, Kelly Keck. www.asiliveandgrieve.com

Neurodiverse Grief: Humor, Support, & Healing
How do neurodiverse individuals manage the intricate journey of grief? Carolyn Jenkins returns to shed light on this profound question, drawing from her rich expertise in special education and personal experience as a widowed mom. She shares touching anecdotes and practical advice on how neurodiverse people uniquely adapt to everyday challenges while carrying the weight of loss. Carolyn introduces us to her new virtual group aimed at supporting neurodiverse widows, emphasizing the vital role of humor and support systems in navigating these emotional waters.
Navigating conversations about death with neurodiverse children presents its own set of challenges. Together, we explore effective strategies to broach this sensitive topic, ensuring children are prepared for experiences of loss. Carolyn and I also discuss the importance of respecting individual choices in remembering loved ones and the pressures that sometimes accompany those choices.
