"The things I hadn't dealt with." | Childhood loss and delayed grief recovery

from Something Shifted | Stories of Identity, Loss and Life Transitions · host Sean Loots - Award-Winning Broadcaster & Human Storyteller

Josh was 12 when his life changed. But the enormity of that moment took years to surface. This episode explores delayed grief, childhood bereavement, and how children process loss without the language to understand it at the time. It also looks at how creativity becomes a form of survival, and how storytelling can help us make sense of what we couldn’t process when it first happened.
