Traumatic Grief and the Younger Generation

As I Live and Grieve®

Send us some LOVE!

Ever wondered how to effectively support children and teens through the unimaginable pain of traumatic loss? Join us as we sit down with Jennifer Levin, a licensed therapist who specializes in traumatic grief, to uncover the essential steps needed for crisis support and stabilization. Jennifer enlightens us on the particular needs of young individuals facing sudden and unexpected deaths, especially within school environments.
How do you distinguish between grief and depression when both share similar symptoms like sadness and changes in sleep or appetite? This episode clarifies these crucial differences with Jennifer's expert insights. We tackle the controversial topic of prolonged grief disorder's inclusion in the DSM, discussing its implications for accessing care. Additionally, we explore how children's understanding of death evolves, especially around the ages of seven to eight, when they begin to grasp its universality, cessation, and irreversibility. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone navigating the complex terrain of traumatic grief.
