This week on Live Happy Now, Paula sits down with Dr. Korie Leigh, an internationally recognized expert in childhood bereavement and author of When Everything Changes: Parenting Through Loss and Grief. Drawing from her work in pediatric palliative care and thanatology, Dr. Leigh explains why children grieve differently than adults and why honest, concrete communication matters when helping them navigate loss. She also shares how parents can support their children even while managing their own grief, and why resilience is a muscle families can build together.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why euphemisms around death can confuse children and increase fear or guilt.
• How children “puddle jump” through grief and why their processing looks so different from adults.
• How parents can support a grieving child even while grieving themselves — and why “good enough” parenting truly is enough.
