On this episode: <a href="https://www.thelucylopez.com/">Lucy Lopez</a>, <a href="https://www.dutchdutchgoose.com/">Elizabeth Newcamp</a>, and <a href="https://zakrosen.com/">Zak Rosen</a> have a listener in the midst of a Blue Holiday. A long-time listener and her kids are grieving the loss of her husband this holiday season. She wants thoughts about navigating this time of year while still feeling such a big loss. 
To navigate this sensitive topic, the ‘Rents are joined by <a href="https://www.kidsgriefsupport.com/about">Jessica Correnti</a>, a certified child life specialist who specializes in psychosocial and emotional support to children and families facing stress and anxiety related to illness, hospitalization, and the death of a loved one. They discuss the importance of knowing that there’s not a right or wrong way to navigate the holiday with grief, the unique grieving process that kids go through compared to adults, how to be there for grieving people, and more. 
But first, they share their latest triumphs and fails. Zak has the ultimate fail calling out a seven-year-old for wearing shorts during a Michigan winter; Lucy misses a theater event; and Elizabeth successfully moved to Hawaii. 
Podcast production by Cheyna Roth. Video production by Micah Phillips.
