New Podcast Helps Kids Grieve

Valerie's House

Grieving the loss of a loved one is difficult for anyone, but when children lose a parent or sibling the loss can be particularly profound. WGCU TV recently aired a new documentary called Speaking Grief that explores the transformative experience of losing a family member in what it describes as our death and grief avoidant society.

One way of coping with grief is by talking about it. Today we learn about a new podcast called Grieve Love Heal that’s being made by the people at Valerie’s House. The nonprofit’s sole focus is helping children grieve. The podcast covers topics like Losing a Loved one on Christmas, Back to School with Grief, and Going Through Grief as a Young Adult.

This conversation is part of a community initiative WGCU is leading to create a more grief aware society. It culminates this evening at 6:00 with a Zoom discussion about coping with grief, which is open to everyone. You can find information about it and register HERE.
