141: Good Grief Parenting With Michele Benyo
Michele Benyo is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, early childhood educator and 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 defined Michele’s life purpose. Her
mission is twofold: to help parents through the unimaginable challenges of parenting while grieving the
death of a child, and to equip parents to meet the unique needs of a child who has lost a sibling in the
early childhood years. The desire of Michele’s heart is to see families live forward after loss toward a
future bright with possibilities and even joy.
Here are some of the questions we discussed:
-Can you share your story and how you came to know grief and do the work you are doing?
-What are some ways that parents can best support their grieving child or children?
-What is the biggest mistake parents and adults make around children and their grief?
-Can you tell us about the good grief parenting approach?
