trying to talk to your kid about grief
Transcript
This is trying to figure out how to talk to your kid about grief. The unimaginable setting of a church filled with friends and classmates of an 11 year old. Her name was Chloe. As a family friend said during the eulogy, she lived with her soul on parade. The priest asked, but what did you learn from her? Well, as the parent who sometimes sat there with her parents and watched tier kids do taekwondo together for years, I literally learned that you good be born with half a heart and still be the brightest, bravest, and loudest voice in the room. My daughter took solace in hearing the priest say that life has not ended. It's just changed. But what in the world do you say to the parents? I don't think there's anything that you can't say. I think you just have to show up and let them know that they're loved. Maybe that you know how lucky you are by having learned so much best because you were lucky enough to be in the same room.
