In this episode of the Creative Grief Journey, the host talks with her guest, Brynnlee, about what grief feels like for a child after her baby brother Willy died when he was one. Brynnlee shares that she felt sad and describes how painting, coloring, and making things together helped her feel happy and gave her no time to be sad. They discuss the different art materials Brynnlee uses, what she likes to paint, and how creativity can help a sad heart feel better over time. Brynnlee also talks about planting and caring for flowers and a special tree, and how she comforts her mom when she cries. The episode emphasizes that grief looks different for everyone, it’s okay to cry, and loved ones can be held in hearts and memories, with an invitation to join a free Skool support community.
