    We Are All Connected, featuring the CEO of Judi's House Micki Burns, part 2

    This is part two of two part episode with the CEO of Judi's House Micki Burns. We continued talking about grief and bereavement. Micki talked about recourses Judi's House provides to families when explaining death to children. She emphasized how important it is to use correct language so kids can understand death. We also spoke about death by suicide and again using the correct language so kids can understand why someone made that choice and how to support families who experienced this kind of loss. Again , the education piece of different types of losses that Micki provided was so valuable. But, If this is something that might be hard for anyone to hear, please skip this part 2:48 to 12:29. Micki spoke how pandemic effected us and and results of it we still experiencing today. This episode was heavy and some of the statistics Micki shared was absolutely heartbreaking. We hope this conversation will help people who are going through grief and loss, people who wants to understand more about this topic to be able to help a bereaved friend or a loved one or simple have more knowledge and understanding around grief, loss, bereavement and death. #whatsyourdefiningmoment #momentsthatdefineuspodcast #importantconversation #grief #bereavement
