Susana is no stranger to grief. As a young child, she was a victim of sexual abuse. As a young adult, she lost her mother, later becoming her father's caretaker, only to eventually lose him. The death of her nephew to suicide was when she realized that she could do something - that she needed to do something. Susana would put her strengths, skills, training as a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, education in Clinical Psychology, and, more importantly, the pain of her past into purpose by serving the most vulnerable - children. Three out of four children, ages 6-17, have experienced the loss of a loved one, a loved one becoming terminally ill, or anger due to changes within the family dynamics. Susana wanted to create and provide tools for children, parents, and school districts, to help them understand themselves and their grief experience better. These tools would be developed and communicated through her book and curriculum, The Hearts Matter Project. Susana later formed her non-profit, Shielding Hearts, to help spread her work and grow her services in her community and beyond.  CONNECT:FacebookInstagramWebsite | SusanaMorell.comRESOURCES:Book & Curriculum | The Hearts Matter ProjectShieldingHearts. org_______NEED HELP?National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255Crisis Text Line provides free, 24/7 support via text message.

Imagine the two most difficult things that you could possibly go through happening simultaneously. Parenting a child, and the grief of losing a child. Now imagine parenting a surviving child after they lose their sibling.   Surviving children need unique care to work through their grief, in the midst of the parent sitting in their own grief. And while there are many grief support groups out there, parents need help in working through the day-to-day trials and tribulations that happen as the surviving child hits milestones that their sibling never had a chance to experience.   This week's episode is for parents who have lost a child and caregivers of the surviving children. Because, like any aspect of child development, the more who can support the child the better.   Listen in to a sad but heartwarming story about why play matters to grieving children, why language and vocabulary is so important to grieving children, how to manage your own grief while parenting, and why grieving adults need to take care of themselves first.   About Michele Benyo:   Michele Benyo is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, early childhood parent coach, and the founder of Good Grief Parenting.

Michele Benyo, founder of Good Grief Parenting shares with Michelle the 4 keys for parents with young children navigating perinatal loss. These 4 keys are self-care, accurate words describing death, inviting conversation, and honoring child-sized grief. She also explains why we need to avoid telling children euphemisms such as “He went to sleep.” or vague words such as ‘gone' or ‘passed' when explaining that someone has died. Dead and died have a very specific meaning and those are the only words that accurately tell children what happened. Young children won't understand death, but they still have the accurate word and they are going to grow into that understanding. She also explains why it is important to tell children in an age-appropriate way about the death in an honest and accurate way without too many details. Parents can follow the child's lead if they ask to know more. Michele also shares that children can internalize 4 messages when they lose a sibling: I don't understand, I hurt inside,  I don't belong, and I am not enough. She provides tips to help parents grief with their child in healthy ways. "I just think that when we are a bereaved parent and we have other young children to raise, we are being asked to do two of the hardest things we'll ever have to do in our lives at the same time. And that is to grief a loved one which is such hard work and parent a young child in those formative early childhood years."—Michele Benyo About Michele: Michele Benyo is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, parent mentor, and founder of Good Grief Parenting, whose purpose is to support parents who are raising young bereaved siblings after child loss. Her mission is to be a voice for the youngest of grievers and to help parents nurture and understand the unique needs of children who have lost a sibling in early childhood.When Michele's six-year-old son died of cancer, her daughter said, "Mommy, half of me is gone." She was just 3 1/2 years old. Even though Michele was teaching early childhood parenting classes and had a Masters in early childhood education, she didn't know how best to help her daughter. This inspired her to become the support she had needed most during that time so that parents like her wouldn't have to go it alone. She's spent more than 20 years learning all she can about early childhood sibling loss, its lifelong impact on the surviving sibling, and how parents can help their bereaved child grow up whole and happy.Michele equips parents with tools to help their family heal after child loss, to foster hope, and to build resilience.

The UCP introduced the Labour Statues Amendment Act in the Alberta legislature earlier this month (May 2022). As originally proposed, Bill 17 would amend the Employment Standards Code to expand access to bereavement leave to employees who experience a miscarriage or stillbirth. Any employee who would have been a parent — including biological parents, adoptive parents and surrogates — would be eligible for bereavement leave. Labour Minister Kaycee Madu introduced an amendment to change the wording. It proposed the words “miscarriage” and “stillbirth” be replaced with “any pregnancy that ends in a result other than a live birth.” “(This legislation will cover) stillbirth, miscarriage and yes, abortion and termination for medical reasons.” We spoke to the lobbyist of Bill 17, Sarah Biggs.

Tess Connolly LCSW talks with Michele Benyo, a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, a parent coach, and the founder of Good Grief Parenting. Tess and Michele talk about different ways that our tween and teens experience loss and how we can cope with these moments in our parenthood journey. They discuss different kinds of grief not just when we lose someone close to us but when we are faced with other experiences such as when we move as a family and children may experience the loss of friendships and the home that they are leaving behind.  Tess gives an introduction to today's episode. Talking about the importance of knowing how to deal with loss and grief as a family.  Michele shares with us the background story about her journey and talks about what led her to creating the business she now runs helping families deal with grief and loss.  Tess and Michele talk about different losses that tweens and teens can go through and how we can cope with these. Michele points out that grief comes in all shapes and sizes not just when we lose someone we know close to us dies but also losses such as when we move or when things change in our life.  Michele talks about her own experiences and the importance of being the parent that has the conversations with our children and teaches them how to deal with grief.  Michelle and Tess discuss ways we can talk to our children about their losses and give us some strategies of how we have these conversations. Michele talks about ways that we may have been taught how to deal with grief and compares them to ways that might be more helpful in assisting our children to deal with their loss. She talks about studies that have been done more recently and how keeping conversations going about people they have lost can really benefit the grieving process.  Michelle talks about in the case of a parent losing a child who has siblings that we have to remember the importance of whilst we are dealing with our grief to also remember to let our children that are still with us know how much they are valued.  Tess and Michelle talk about the grief that we might experience as parents and how we convey and recognize these moments. Losing someone does end a life but it doesn't end a relationship. They talk about ways that we can still keep these people in our lives through conversations and still recognise their life within our lives.  Michelle shares with us the analogy of making lemonade and how she uses this analogy to help explain the feelings we go through when dealing with grief and loss.  Michelle talks about how although facing grief is an incredible loss we are at a time where we have lots of places where we can go to for help, so make sure that as parents we take the opportunity to use these resources that are available to us and learn strategies for when we are faced with these moments in our parenting journey.

The grief of losing a loved one can be overwhelming. And to lose a child...unfathomably difficult. Though most of us haven't experienced such a tragic loss, we can learn from the many things that today's guest, Michelle Benyo, shares with us. Grab a box of tissues and your journal. We've all experienced grief in the last two years. It's with a grateful heart and open mind that I share with you this awe-inspiring episode of #thingsyoulearnintherapy.Just an FYI... I have cross-listed this episode with my other podcast Kids These Days need us to make words matter for good because it was such a great episode that I think is relevant for both audiences. Michele Benyo is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, a parent coach, and the founder of Good Grief Parenting. After her 6-year-old son died of cancer, her 3-year-old daughter said, “Mommy, half of me is gone.” This heartbreaking statement focused Michele's career as an early childhood parenting specialist on the impact of grief on young children, particularly after child loss. Michele equips parents and other caring adults to recognize young children's grief and to provide the support children need to cope well with any loss.
