How Parents Can Help Children Deal with Grief

How Parents Can Help Children Deal with Grief


In our last podcast Dr. Sara and Dr. John, teamed up with Dr.
Tina Barrett from Tamarack Grief Resource Center as we answered
some questions about how to talk about death. This week, we go
from talking to doing, as we invite Dr. Tina back, this time to
discuss how parents can help children deal with grief. After Dr.
Sara and Dr. John check in on each other’s grief memories, Dr.
Tina shares more of her infinite wisdom on how we, as practically
perfect parents, can help support our kids through grief. From
emotional regulation to behavior, Dr. Tina describes what’s
normal for grieving families, and how to cope with complex and
difficult grief experiences.
