4. Valentine’s Day Special - Showing Families Love
In honor of Valentine’s Day we wanted to release an extra special episode all about how we can all show love to families who are facing hard things, whether it be the illness or loss of a child or even the illness or loss of a parent or other loved one. So often the fear of saying or doing the wrong thing can keep us from reaching out and showing love, but in this episode, we try to allay that fear by providing tried and true advice. We reached out to parents who have dealt with illness, loss, and grief and asked them to share some of the things people had done or said that meant the most to them in their pain. We had Amanda McCollum back on the podcast to talk through the many responses that we received and Amanda shared some of her own wisdom as well. We had a great conversation about all the many ways that each of us can show love and support and we hope that this episode will be a wonderful resource for you as love others. Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at the Forrest Spence Fund!
Additionally, we made a list of all the different things you can do to show love and have linked it here.
