Parenting Lessons in Grief: A Journey Through Love and Loss with Jessica Fein
• 29 minOnly those who have been in the process of making, loving, and losing family can talk about what it feels like, yet all of us can learn from it. In today's episode, I'm joined by the Author, Advocate, Speaker, and Podcaster Jessica Fein. Jessica's relationship with grief started when she lost her sister, who was only three years older, at the age of 27. Several years later, her daughter was diagnosed with a rare disease, taking Jessica and her family through a chaotic journey of heart-wrenching challenges, relentless battles, love, laughter, and lessons about life, grief, and the indomitable human spirit. Throughout this episode, you'll hear Jessica's thoughts on caring for loved ones with special needs and the significance of finding ways to include them in daily life. She also talks about Dalia, her daughter, who was diagnosed with MERRF syndrome, her family's life before and after the diagnosis, the deep connection between grief and creativity, and much more. Tune in and listen to episode 262 of Grief and Happiness, and learn more about Jessica's powerful journey through the profound joys and painful challenges of love and loss.
