Ever wondered how to effectively support children and teens through the unimaginable pain of traumatic loss? Join us as we sit down with Jennifer Levin, a licensed therapist who specializes in traumatic grief, to uncover the essential steps needed for crisis support and stabilization. Jennifer enlightens us on the particular needs of young individuals facing sudden and unexpected deaths, especially within school environments.

How do you distinguish between grief and depression when both share similar symptoms like sadness and changes in sleep or appetite? This episode clarifies these crucial differences with Jennifer's expert insights. We tackle the controversial topic of prolonged grief disorder's inclusion in the DSM, discussing its implications for accessing care. Additionally, we explore how children's understanding of death evolves, especially around the ages of seven to eight, when they begin to grasp its universality, cessation, and irreversibility. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone navigating the complex terrain of traumatic grief.

Imagine starting a podcast from a light-hearted joke among friends, only to find it transforming into a deeply meaningful project. That's exactly what happened to Nick Gaylord, the creator of "Our Dead Dads." Join us as we welcome Nick back to share the deeply personal story behind his podcast, which began with humorous banter among his brothers and friends who, like Nick, have lost their fathers. In this episode, Nick delves into the bittersweet memories of his father and his journey that spans across various states and a fascinating career in the pharmaceutical industry.

Grief is a multifaceted experience, particularly when it involves complex relationships with the deceased. Kathy opens up about her mix of relief and guilt following her husband's death from a brain tumor. We discuss the critical need to address grief in all its forms to prevent long-term emotional strain, reminding listeners that all emotions during grief are valid.

How do we support a generation grappling with profound loss? We explore this critical question with Rebecca Feinglos. Rebecca's journey through the loss of both parents by age 31, coupled with a challenging divorce, has shaped her unique perspective on grief. We also tackle the often overlooked intersection of grief and the workplace. Misconceptions abound that grief is a private matter, yet acknowledging and supporting an employee's grief can lead to increased loyalty and dedication.

Rebecca is a certified grief support specialist, startup founder, and former state and local policy advisor. She founded Grieve Leave in 2021 as a way to document her experience on a year-long grief sabbatical, and process her own grief and loss. Grieve Leave has grown into a global community of 30,000 with online reach well into the millions that provides tangible takeaways, resources, and a healthy dose of humor, creating an entire movement around taking intentional time to grieve. Rebecca has been featured in LA Times, Fortune, TIME, HuffPost, Slate, ELLE, and more for her raw and revolutionary voice, inspiring a more grief-informed world.
