In this episode of Comforting Closure – Conversations with a Death Doula, Traci Arieli speaks with grief advocates and co-authors Leanne Whallett and Jess Slater about their children’s book All Around Is Me. They share personal stories of loss, parenting through grief, and the deeply healing role their book plays in helping children process death and memory.
Together, they discuss how children experience grief differently than adults, why silence around death can be confusing for young ones, and how we can create safe, compassionate spaces for kids to feel and express their emotions. Key takeaways include the importance of honest conversations, recognizing signs of grief in children, and using storytelling and ritual as tools for connection.
This episode gently normalizes conversations around childhood grief and offers encouragement to caregivers, educators, and anyone supporting a grieving child.
