In today’s episode we will be talking about grief and loss with two people who have made it their personal goal to help others through the grieving process.
Both Kristy and James Thomas lost family members far earlier than expected and it was through the processing of this grief that they were inspired to start a charity to help others.
Feel the Magic is a charity supporting grieving kids and teenagers to heal after a death nationwide and their goal is to create a world where grieving kids and their families feel supported, empowered, and can begin to move forward with their lives.
In today’s episode James and Kristy shares:
- The stories of how they lost their family members
- How differently grief affected them
- Their advice and tips for processing and dealing with grief
- Advice for helping others deal with grief
