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.

What happens when you are faced with the unimaginable loss of a partner or child? In this episode of "When Grief Comes Home," we explore the intense feelings of early grief and discuss the importance of listening to your body's needs. We offer solace and understanding for those in early grief, reassuring them that these physical and emotional responses are a normal part of the healing process.

Join us as we discuss practical ideas for managing visitors and finding what helps you and your children the most during the early days. We offer space for parents to model emotions for children and to find ways to create routines for a sense of stability. By distinguishing between grief and mourning, we look at how expressing sorrow is essential for parents and children as they heal. This episode offers practical advice and compassionate support for grief, ensuring that no one feels alone in their pain.
