28. How Do I Cope With the Loss of My Child? With Michael Cruz Kayne

How are you supposed to go on after suffering an unimaginable
tragedy? Shortly after comedian Michael Cruz Kayne welcomed his
identical twin boys into the world, his son Fisher suddenly
passed away at only 34 days old. Michael and his wife were left
trying to grieve their son while raising a newborn at the same
time. This week, we talk about what helps in the face of loss and
how to tell people that you’re not ready to stop talking about
your grief. Michael and Claire answer your questions on child
loss, from how to cope with anxiety, to how to let go of what you
dreamt for your child.
