Increasingly, Russian citizens opposed to the war are fleeing their country, taking asylum in other places – around the world. A significant number of these folks are queer – leaving not just because of their opposition to the war, but fleeing severe persecution in Russia, as the country cracks down on the LGBTQ community. And, they're landing in places that are skeptical of them because of the war in Ukraine. In this episode I'm talking to Maxim Eye-BAD-off, coordinator with Rusa LGBTQ+ - a network for Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ individuals in the United States, their friends, supporters and loved ones. They provide informational support to asylum seekers and organize social events to increase acceptance and inclusion of LGBTQ+ people within the Russian-speaking public. We talk about the queer climate in Russia today, how it has evolved, the feedback loop of LGBTQ oppression – how the anti-LGBT policies instituted in Russia are being mirrored in red-states here in the US, that then inform further oppressive policies in Russia, the war in Ukraine, how it has created a global diaspora of Ukrainian and Russian refugees, and how you can support the community.

When tragedy strikes or challenging times knock on a family's door, the children involved can feel cast aside or as if they are an afterthought while the adults are experiencing their emotional crisis. However, it doesn't have to be that way. As adults become more knowledgeable about grief, learning new tools and new information, beliefs about grief and how to respond to it can change, too. As children's adult caretakers/caregivers connect to their own grief and apply new knowledge and tools, they also learn new (and healthier) ways to cope with grief and loss. Grief education begins at home and starts as early as a child having their blanket or pacifier taken away or losing a pet. This episode explores how our children can be better cared for in their grief.

In this episode Stephen invites Dr. Li and Dr. Ching, two paediatric emergency medicine physicians, to discuss paediatric considerations in disasters. The discussion highlights the importance of planning for these vents including involving paediatric patients in disaster drills. Re-unification is stressed as something that requires a great deal of planning to appropriately execute and both Dr. Li and Dr. Chung identify key factors for successful implementation. EMS and Law Enforcement can also play an important role, and the team shares some advice on transport of paediatric patients in the disaster setting. The discussion ends on a difficult topic, which is planning for the death of a child and trauma-informed methods for managing this, as well as the affected families and staff. Sarita Chung, MD is the Director of Disaster Preparedness in the Division of Emergency Medicine at Boston Children's Hospital and Assistant Professor of Paediatrics and Emergency Medicine, Harvard Medical School.

It's hard enough being a parent (at least from everything I witness and see). So, what do you do when you suddenly become a widow, grieving the loss of your spouse while also trying to help your grieving child? Whether the loss is a caregiver, a parent, or even a sibling, a child that experiences loss is going to experience grief differently than we as adults do. Young children may not even understand what death means, or that people who have died won't be coming back. So, how do we wrap our arms around these tender souls while also still trying to cope with our own grief? In this episode we speak to Sara Deren, Founder and CEO of Experience Camps. Experience Camps is a national non-profit that gives grieving children experiences that change their lives forever. Season Sponsor: GammaTile

Learn 15 simple ways you can help a grieving child. We celebrate the life of the "Candy Bomber" and Claire talks about life immediately after her husband died.
Agoraphobia is a mental and behavioral disorder, specifically an anxiety disorder characterized by anxiety symptoms in situations where the person perceives their environment to be unsafe with no easy way to escape. These situations can include open spaces, public transit, shopping centers, or simply being outside their home.Amy's mom died suddenly and unexpectedly when she was 11 of a massive heart attack. They were the best of friends a mother and daughter could be. As an only child of a single mom, it was just the two of them - until they weren't. Amy found herself living with her Godmother and her Godmother's family. However, one day a series of events led to Amy being forced to turn over her key to safety and security and trade it for loneliness, homelessness, and insecurity. But that's not the whole story. After years of bouncing around from shelter to shelter, Amy would later turn her life around. Without the support of family and only that of a few friends, Amy got her G.E.D., overcame agoraphobia, learned life skills for the first time, and discovered a path of service as a social worker. Our conversation went to many places, including raising/mentoring/teaching kids, mental health challenges, and the fact that family isn't always blood - sometimes it's the people you choose.

Today's guest is the amazing Dr. Patricia Papernow! Dr. Patricia Papernow has taught about “blended families” all over the U.S. and the world, sharing best practices for meeting the often-intense challenges that stepfamilies face. Dr. Papernow has authored dozens of articles and book chapters on stepfamilies as well as two of the leading books in the field: Surviving and Thriving in Stepfamily Relationships: What Works and What Doesn't, and, with Karen Bonnell, The Stepfamily Handbook: From Dating, to Getting Serious to Forming a “Blended Family.” Quotes: "In a first-time family, kids enter hard-wired for affection for their parents." "Stepparents enter as an outsider to the family." Five Challenges for Stepfamilies 1) Stuck insider vs. Stuck outsiders (stepparents are often left out) 2) Kids feel differently about stepfamilies than they do about first families (stepfamily adjustment is harder on kids than the actual divorce) 3) Parenting and stepparenting are different (best parenting style: authoritative parenting by parents) 4) Creating a new family culture when (at least) two cultures already exist involves making something new while respecting both us and them. 5) There IS another parent, living or dead, outside the household * The worst thing for children isn't divorce or remarriage; it's conflict. "A lot of stepfamily life is 'learning by goofing.'" "For kids, as the rate of change goes up, their well-being goes down." Suggestions: 1) Spend 1:1 time with kids/stepkids (connection before correction) 2) Kids don't want a replacement (via divorce or death), so make space for the parent that is already there Resources: Dr. Papernow's website: https://www.stepfamilyrelationships.com/ Dr. Papernow's books (Becoming a Stepfamily, and Surviving and Thriving in Stepfamily Relationships) : https://www.stepfamilyrelationships.com/ The Stepfamily Handbook (written with Karen Bonnell): https://www.amazon.com/Stepfamily-Handbook-Getting-Serious-Forming/dp/172085520X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+stepfamily+handbook&qid=1647715365&s=books&sprefix=the+stepfmaily%2Cstripbooks%2C171&sr=1-1 Stepparenting the Grieving Child by Diane Ingram Fromme https://www.amazon.com/Stepparenting-Grieving-Child-Cultivating-Connections/dp/1939919479
As a child, were you called a crybaby? A child taught to grieve alone becomes an adult who also grieves alone. To break the cycle of learned behavior, we have to learn new information. If you want to learn how to support children in their grief, this episode walks you through what not to do and what to do instead. Most of us grew up without a healthy demonstration of how to grieve healthily. When we are faced with challenges as adults, we resort to what we know and what we've been taught. When someone does something hurtful to you, is your knee-jerk reaction to blame that person for "making" you angry or sad? First, that's a lot of power to give the other person. And second, this is a learned behavior that is also what keeps us in a victim mindset well into adulthood. Take twenty minutes out of your day today and learn a better way to support a grieving child you know or love.

The heartbreak of a parent losing a child is a pain like no other. But what about the sibling(s) left behind of the child who dies? When her son, David, was four-years-old, he was diagnosed with cancer. At the time, his younger sister was fifteen months old. Michele shares her perspective of guiding her daughter through sibling loss while also navigating her own. Michele says, "Grief is part of loss of life that we will live with and still live well with." She adds her thoughts about appearing strong for others, which often leaves grievers feeling isolated because, although they may seem strong, that doesn't mean support isn't needed. Michele's work focuses on offering support for parents of child loss who also have other children navigating sibling loss. She offers three suggestions as well as many other helpful and supportive suggestions for parents who desire to be positive grief role models for their other child(ren) experiencing loss."Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is remaking of life." - Anne Roiphe RESOURCES:Good Grief ParentingFacebook GroupCONNECT:WebsiteInstagram______NEED HELP?National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255Crisis Text Line provides free, 24/7 support via text message.

When you find yourself the observer of a situation that brings up some emotional dis-ease for you, it may be helpful to say the following to yourself: “I don't know what I don't know.” This helps me to feel better when I have felt wronged in some way or when I find myself raising an eyebrow at a situation that may or may not involve me. Society isn't short of judgment and criticism these days. I think there's plenty of it to go around the world a few times. However, each of us can help change that and intentionally, instead, pause and take a moment to reflect and attempt to be empathetic, even if it doesn't come naturally to you. Some may say we need to be more sympathetic, but even that can come across as pity. Maybe it's just easier to say that sometimes, our opinions are best kept to ourselves. Whether you believe in the afterlife or don't, or think every mother should fight tooth and nail to keep their children with them, I hope this episode leads you to listen to both Episode 64 with Kristjana and 65 with Sirry because, they couldn't be any more different but yet, the common theme comes down to how we don't know what we don't know.

Grief and Loss is a common experience. I will use a case example to describe the repair needed. I use, "Rick" a young child who travels through the foster care system being labeled as oppositional. However, in our work, he learns to work through his grief and loss and his behaviors improve. I discuss the stages of grief and loss and how you can learn more about this process.
Over the last year we’ve experienced loss in many ways, from disturbed routines, to job loss, and even the loss of loved ones.

How do you being to parent a grieving child? It's overwhelming. In James chapter 1, it tells us to ask God for wisdom and He will give it to us generously. God is for your grieving child and God is for you! Let Him give you the wisdom you need.
Losing a parent at any age is difficult, but it’s especially hard on children. It’s estimated that as many as 1.5 million children will lose one or both of their parents by the age of 15.

“Grief has a way of seeping from the inside out in the most unexpected ways. Being prepared and open to field unexpected situations, with keeping in mind honoring the deceased parent in that whole picture, is probably one of the most important things that you can bring to the relationship. I believe that remaining open to ways to help a child navigate their grief process is going to be one of the keys to deepening that relationship, which then unlocks the door to so many other wonderful things.” ~Diane Ingram Fromme, author of Stepparenting the Grieving Child I learned so much from talking with Diane Ingram Fromme for this episode. Diane is the author of “Stepparenting the Grieving Child: Cultivating Past and Present Connections with Children Who Have Lost a Parent.” She married a widower with kids, thus becoming a step mom to two young kids who were grieving the loss of their mom. She entered this role full of optimism, and found it much harder than she expected. She couldn't find any books on stepparenting grieving kids so she did extensive research and decided to write that book herself. Some of the topics we discussed include: If the stepparent isn't ‘replacing' the deceased parent, what then is their role with the kids; The importance of the stepparent helping the kids honor and remember their deceased parent; On still being in the “get to know you” phase after several years; The stepfamily cycle; Common stepfamily myths; The importance of maintaining relationships with the family of the deceased parent; and Tips for preparing to marry into a widowed family. If you're a widow who has remarried, or someone who has married into or is considering marrying into a widowed family, I highly recommend reading Diane's book. I think you'll find lots of advice and perspective that will help as you embark on this new phase of your family's life. I hope you enjoy my discussion with Diane Ingram Fromme.
