Death and Talking toToddlers

Death is a part of life, and unfortunately, every person will be
affected by it at some point in their life. When death strikes
close to home, and there are children involved, helping them
process it all can be a tricky road to navigate. 


Remi just lost her uncle Johnny to a nine-year battle with brain
cancer, and Trisha did a lot of research and got creative on ways
to discuss it with Remi and her niece and nephews (Johnny's
children). 


Books are a great way to introduce and explain death to children,
while guided journals can be a way to create memory boxes.
Getting paper lanterns that the kids can draw on and sending
messages to their loved ones is an excellent way to feel
connected with someone who is physically not there anymore.


Death is a sensitive time for everyone involved, and although
children are very resilient, they are still trying to process
feelings and emotions much bigger than they are. Be patient, be
kind, and understanding, and if you are simply there, you're
already one step ahead.


Now on a separate note, if potty training is a part of your world
right now, you'll want to hear Morgen and Trisha's momfessions
this week, plus you'll get to learn what a "BM" is if you don't
already know.
