Episode 32: Children’s Grief Awareness Day: Holding On to Hope and Honoring Uncle Avery
In this deeply personal episode of Living in 3D Power, Emma and I process grief in real time following the passing of my brother — and Emma’s Uncle Avery — just three weeks earlier. Together, we honor Children’s Grief Awareness Day by opening a tender and courageous conversation about loss, memory, and the ways both children and adults can navigate grief in healthy, connected, and communal ways.
I share about the Highmark Caring Place and how it supports grieving children and families, while Emma offers her own reflections on what it’s like to balance sadness with school, friendship, and everyday life. Through our honest dialogue, laughter, and love, we remind our listeners that grief is not something to “get over” — it’s something we move through, together.
