Welcome to the When Grief Comes Home podcast. We're glad you're here. This podcast supports parents who are grieving a spouse, partner, or child while helping their children who are living through the loss of a parent or sibling. With personal grief stories and professional guidance, we offer parents practical tips for supporting their child who is grieving while caring for their own grief.

In this episode, we discuss how each person in a family grieves differently and offer practical wisdom for parents as they balance self-care and the needs of their children.

This episode offers techniques for honoring each person in your family's needs as they mourn. It offers ideas for maintaining consistency and providing sensory safety to help ease your child's worries. We discuss the value of routines, simple comforts, and honest conversations. With methods for deepening parent-child communication using reflective techniques and prompts like "I wonder" and "I hope” we help parents facilitate expression with their child.
