Shelly Bathe Lenn from The Garden on Healthy Communication and Helping Kids Feel Safe After Loss

"You've got a very hard job, but not an impossible job. And, really make sure you're taking care of yourself so that you can take care of your kids." ~ Shelly Bathe Lenn I had such a great discussion with Shelly Bathe Lenn for this episode. Shelly runs The Garden: A Center for Grieving Children and Teens in Northampton, Massachusetts. Shelly and I had a wide-ranging discussion, covering topics such as: Helping kids feel safe after loss; Helping children express feelings after loss; The importance of commemorating a loved one; Being truthful with kids, even when difficult circumstances surround a death; How parents can model healthy grief and emotions; Running grief groups in schools; and Book recommendations. I hope you enjoy my discussion with Shelly Bathe Lenn.
