Thank you. That's a great question.
I would say right off the bat that nobody plans for the death of a child and nobody talks about the amount of cost there is. There's the cost of the funeral. There's the cost of the mental health support. For me, there was the cost of extra child care, because I couldn't parent. I was trying to parent a seven-year-old and I couldn't.
I see this all the time. A family I'm working with right now is in such deep grief they cannot work. All their benefits have been removed from them. We provide no-cost mental health support. They are leaning into that so heavily, because that's all they have.
