The Joyful Mom Podcast
70: Grief as a Child
We have a special guest for this episode, Randi Proman Wolfson, who’s going to show us how grief looks into a child’s eyes
She first experienced grief when she lost her dad at the age of 10.There wasn’t any kind of grief support way back then so she failed to process her grief up until she received grief support in her early adulthood.
Episode pointers:
- Teachers should be educated how to handle kids in grief, and teach their classmates how to support their grieving friend.
- Families should have open conversations about a dying family member.
- If there was counseling during that time, she would have expressed her grief in a healthier way.
- It’s never too late to address your grief.
- It’s not grief that sucks, it’s the death that sucks. Grief is what we have to embrace and that’s what can hopefully allow us to move through our life is by embracing the grief. Embracing the feelings that are bubbling within us and to not be afraid of that.
- Reach out in somewhere or some way so that you will not feel alone.
- Grief is life long.
Tips for moms:
- Help yourself and make sure that you have a place, an outlet, and support because the better that we are supported,the more we have to give to our child.
- Have conversations with your child about their departed loved one
- It is important not be afraid to show your emotions in front of your child
