This special edition episode is for the caregiver that wants to know how best to support a child through grief and loss. Linda provides some brief information about the interruption of secure attachment, the importance of telling the truth, moving from shock and disbelief to seeking security, emotional literacy, whether or not you should cry in front of the kids, heading back to school, and addressing guilt over trying to feel happy again.

Some resources mentioned included:

Lifetimes: The beautiful way to explain death to children, by Mellonie and Ingpen (1983)

The Invisible String by Patrice Kerst (2018)
