The Claire Byrne Show · How to deal with grief as a parent · 5 May 2026 podcast

I've heard a few of them before and I just think, gosh, like, let our children experience death and let them experience our sadness with death because that's what's honest.

Like I say, kids are body readers.

They will know that we're sad, but they're also...

focused on themselves.

So they will wonder if that sadness is coming from something that they did, something they've done wrong.

So it's much better to be able to say, I am so sad today.

I loved my mom.

I loved my husband, whatever it is.

And I miss them.

I'm having a sad day today.

And when I'm sad, I cry and that's OK.

And if you want, you can give me a hug today or, you know, allow them to be part of it.

Let them have permission.

Or, you know, I'm going to go for a walk now because sometimes I walk by the sea and I feel a little bit calmer in my body.

Model for them that this is the right way to do it.

Absolutely.

And the research shows us the best predictor of how a child copes with death is how a parent copes with death.

So actually, as a parent, the kindest thing is to look after yourself because that will help your child.

So it's a bit like the...

you know, being on the airplane and putting on your mask first.
