Special guest Kim Garrett, a former writer on the Fort Worth Moms team, joins Emily and Erinn to talk through a really important topic — supporting kids dealing with grief.
Grief can come from losing a loved one, but it can also appear in our lives from other losses as well. Kim helps us to know when to worry, what to ask, and how to navigate the realities of grief — even when the parent is grieving as well. She also provides a list of resources for parents to access to provide more information, ideas, and support, which you will find listed below.
