With honesty and tenderness, the speaker explores how children process grief in unique, often surprising ways—through play, imagination, silence, or bursts of expression. I’m positive, bubbly, and full of energy. I love connecting with people and soaking up lively conversations. I’m also always on the lookout for a good book to dive into.
