Marny Williams-Balodis on Developmental Milestones and Children’s Grief The Widowed Parent Podcast

I had such a great discussion with Marny Williams-Balodis for this episode. Marny is a widowed parent, and is the cofounder and executive director of Hummingbird Centre for Hope in the Toronto, Canada, area.
Some topics Marny and I discuss include:
Getting through the first year as a widowed parent of a 3-year-old and 3-month-old; Needing to explain to her 3-year-old over and over that his dad died, and what that meant; Kids needing to grieve again and again as they move through developmental milestones; How kids’ understanding of loss grows and changes over the years; Taking her daughter on a “trip to meet her dead dad;” Why she didn’t take both kids on the same trip; Why she started Hummingbird Centre for Hope; and Hummingbird’s programs for widowed parents. I hope you enjoy my discussion with Marny Williams-Balodis.
