Session 348: Navigating Grief After the Loss of A Child

The loss of a child is an unimaginable reality for parents everywhere.  For those who experience this sudden pain and grief, losing a child can also cause feelings of shame and failure. To shed light on this experience and share resources for bereaved parents, today we’re joined by Grief and Clinical Trauma professional Dr. Nyasha Grayman. Dr. Grayman has over 20 years of clinical experience working with African Americans as an independently licensed LCPC in the state of Maryland. 

During our conversation, Dr. Grayman shares ways for parents to honor their child after their passing, strategies for community members to show up for bereaved parents, and how traumatic grief symptoms can show up differently in Black women.
