On this episode of Grief Circle I had the privilege to speak to another one of my Kesem friends, Brianna (or as I know her Flamingo). I got to hear Briannas powerful story about how she lost her dad when she was young, when she was faced with her worst nightmare of her mom also getting sick. Listen to hear her story and how she was able to come through stronger on the other end.

Welcome back to Grief Circle! I can't believe I have been away for 6 months but I am so happy to be back on this NEW season of Grief Circle with such an amazing guest, Felicity. On this episode, Felicity and I spoke about the shared experience of losing a parent in middle school and the social stigmas that come with that. Felicity also shared about her experience with her mothers two independent run-ins with cancer and how that informed her grief journey. I hope you enjoy my first episode back!

On this episode of Grief Circle, I got to speak with Ann and Carly from Camp COPE - a bereavement weekend camp. Ann is the director and has been with the camp since its inception, and Carly is the clinical director and took on the role around 2 years ago. We got to speak about the opportunities COPE provides for children to come together with other kids in their situation and just "be kids" while also acknowledging what makes them different from other kids. It's also important to note COPE has a caregivers retreat at the same time as the kids camp, right across the river, which is great because often times guardians can be overlooked in these situations. Listen to hear more!
