Grief Resources
Our Helping Kids Through Grief podcast series is based on Sissy’s latest book, Helping Kids Through Grief —a series to help you understand what grief looks like in kids, from toddlers through teenagers, and how it may change as they grow. Drawing from decades of counseling experience, Sissy and David talk about the conversations children need, the questions they may ask, when counseling might be helpful, and practical ways to help them express and process their emotions.
