Episode 35 Show Notes

I asked my community for questions on how to support and help grieving children. Some of these are their questions, some are mine! :)

-Who is Jana, and who do you help, and how do you help them

-How do you respond and support children when they tell strangers they don’t have a sibling because they don’t want to feel sad that they don’t?

-How can we tell the difference between behaviors that are grief-related, versus unruly behavior? And with that, how to know what’s normal for a child, versus needing extra support through grief?

-How can I teach others to be gentle with grieving children? When they are acting out, to tell that they are grieving?

-How little is too little for a child to grieve the loss of a sibling? As they get older, will they grieve in different ways?
