Today’s episode is a heavy topic that might make some people uncomfortable, but it is one that we should be prepared for – because it is inevitable at some point our children will be faced with a death – whether that is a pet, family member or friend. We reached out to Marj Wingrove who is a parent to an individual with FASD but also a Death Doula and producer and host of the Death Happens podcast.
We talk about her experiences as a caregiver, thoughts on why adults are uncomfortable with the topic, when to talk about it and five tips on how to talk to children with FASD about it. She also gives suggestions for parents on how to balance their own grief while trying to support their child(ren).
