When it comes to talking to children about death, most of us freeze. We worry we'll say the wrong thing. We want to protect them from pain. We fear making it worse.
The truth is, talking to children about death doesn't have to feel overwhelming. In this episode, I'm sharing a simple framework that you can return to again and again. Whether you're a new widow navigating this territory or someone supporting a friend who needs guidance, this episode offers practical tools for having these difficult but necessary conversations.
Tune in this week to discover a three-part approach that takes the mystery out of these conversations. I walk you through exactly what to say, what to avoid, and how to support children of any age as they navigate their grief.
