Supporting a Dying Child with Kelsey Mora
Manage episode 477651274 series 3576010
How do you prepare anyone for death, let alone a child? YOUR child? It's something no parent should ever have to face, and yet, many of us have had to. And when this impossible scenario arises, how on earth do you handle it? Do you tell your child exactly what's happening to them? What if they're scared? Confused? How do you walk with them down this path?
In this episode, Allie talks to Kelsey Mora, a dual-certified Child Life Specialist and Licensed Therapist, about how to support a child who is dying. She shares what it's like working in a pediatric ICU, how to have hard conversations with kids in honest language, the importance of caring for oneself, and much more.
