    Grief in Pictures ft. Diane Namm

    On this episode I had the pleasure of speaking to Diane Namm, a picture book author who has published countless books throughout her career. However, there is one book of hers that especially caught my eye: What Happens After? This picture book is so special because rather than serving as an instruction manual for teaching kids how to grieve, it draws from Namm's personal experience with loss and offers gentle guidance to young readers. The words beautifully capture what it means to grieve as a child, while the illustrations work alongside the text to tell the story visually. To learn more about What Happens After? check out the link attached to the episode. ⁠https://whathappensafter.store/⁠

    On this episode of Grief Circle, I got to speak with Sabrina, a recent graduate at Villanova. I found myself in contact with Sabrina after a TikTok of hers landed on my "For You" page, where she was telling her grief story. Sabrina unfortunately lost her mom on her second day of college, which as you can imagine, was not an easy loss to take. Tune in to hear how she got through grief even when the odds were stacked against her.

    It Doesn't Have to Wait for an Appointment

    On this episode, I had the privilege of talking to Dr. Robert Accordino, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Medical College of Cornell University about childhood grief in the hospital with patients. Dr. Accordino taught me so much about how pediatric patients with terminal illness often find themselves grieving their parents loss of themselves, before they have even died. We also spoke about different ways that grief can be expressed outside of a therapists office, such as with art, physical activity, playing, etc. Listen to hear more about Dr. Accordino's fascinating insight into childhood grief!

    Frame of Reference

    On this episode I got to talking about something I like to call my frame of reference. This idea was first introduced to me from my late therapist Dr. Bubrick when we talk about the college admissions process. Frame of reference in grief is a mindset, it is a mindset that challenges us to talk about how sad something really is, in terms of other sad things that can happen in our lifetime. Many times kids who have lost a parent or sibling at a young age have a frame of reference that allows them to see events such as a bad grade or college rejection as not sad; this comes from their loss at a young age that has manipulated their frame of reference to see the world from a "happier" POV. I hope you all enjoy!
