Melissa in the Morning: Discussing Death

According to the Childhood Bereavement Estimation Model, 1 in 12 US children will experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18. That’s 6 million kids and teens experiencing the loss of an immediate relative.

We got advice from counselor, Julius Dudics.
