Echoes Of Her

Ready Or Not...Grief Will Find You Anyway

In this episode, Adell chats with Ke'Shawn Hill-Adamson Certified Grief Coach, Educator, and author of the book MY LOVE LETTERS TO THE GRIEVING: YOU ARE NOT ALONE [https://unstuckworldwide.com/books/] They explore what it means to finally give your pain a voice. Through an honest and reflective conversation, they discuss the ways people carry silent struggles while still showing up for the world, chasing success, and reaching major milestones. Beneath the achievements, however, can be unspoken hurt, isolation, and emotional exhaustion that often go unseen. This episode is a reminder that healing begins when we stop suffering in silence and allow ourselves to be heard. It’s a powerful conversation about vulnerability, emotional honesty, and the courage it takes to acknowledge pain while navigating life, career, and personal growth. Echoes of Her is a space for the full truth, where love and pain can exist together, and where stories help us feel less alone.

Simple Talks...Big Impact Navigating Grief and Kids

This is the conversation you didn’t know you needed about how children navigate grief and how we can better show up for them. In this episode, Jaina DeCristofaro, a grief support expert at the Dougy Center, shares what she’s learned from over two decades of helping children and teens process loss. We talk about how to speak to kids about death with honesty and care, why clear and age-appropriate language matters, and how to answer their questions in ways that reduce fear instead of adding to it. We explore what children really need when they’re grieving, from having their feelings validated to being given space to express themselves beyond words. Jaina also offers guidance on navigating difficult conversations, supporting kids through traumatic loss, and showing up during milestones, holidays, and anniversaries. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone who loves a child, this episode will help you feel more confident in supporting children through grief so they feel safe, heard, and not alone.
