Grief is hard. And unfortunately, it is something everyone must handle and ultimately deal with.

Maria talked through her story with a certified grief counselor on Science of Grief – a podcast supported by The Children’s Foundation in collaboration with WDET and Science Gallery Support. By telling her story on the Science of Grief Podcast, Maria modeled healthy methods of dealing with grief and engaged in a dialogue about mental health with a trained professional.
