Walking Your Child Through Grief With Michele Benyo

Author: Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. February 7, 2023 Duration: 33:28

Grief parenting can be a huge challenge to any parent. Guiding a grieving child through life is one of the toughest situations any parent may face. There’s no instruction manual for it. Most parents who go through grief with their children are caught unprepared. That’s why Michele Benyo, the founder of Good Grief Parenting, has made it her personal mission to help moms and dads to support their grieving children. Michele had two kids, but her 6-year-old son died of cancer. This devastated her 3-year-old daughter who told her mother, “Half of me is gone.” As a parent who experienced the loss of a child herself, she shows how to help kids deal with grief in a positive way. In the process, grieving children can grow up mentally and emotionally resilient. Join us in today’s episode as Michele talks us through helping your child navigate the death of a sibling.

Mental health isn't a monologue; it's a conversation we're all having, whether quietly with ourselves or openly with others. On Your Mind is that conversation given a voice, hosted by clinical psychologist Dr. Timothy J. Hayes. This podcast moves beyond abstract theory to explore the practical, human side of psychological well-being. Each episode features candid discussions with practitioners who are actively guiding people through their struggles, focusing on tangible strategies for building resilience and achieving a sustainable sense of wellness. You'll hear from therapists, counselors, and other experts within the Journey's Dream community, sharing insights that are as applicable to personal growth as they are to professional development. The dialogue is grounded in real-world experience, offering perspectives on navigating anxiety, improving relationships, fostering emotional fitness, and redefining what it means to be truly healthy. It’s for anyone who has ever asked themselves the question in its title-whether you're seeking support for your own journey, supporting a loved one, or simply have a deep curiosity about the inner workings of the human experience. Tune in for a thoughtful, accessible exploration of the mind, where complex ideas are broken down with clarity and compassion.
