In this sweet and meaningful episode of the Fun Grandma Podcast, Susan is joined by two very special guests—her grandchildren BreeElla and Jaxsen, who live with their parents, Brooke and Justin, on the beautiful Washington coast.

Together, they gently step into a hard but important conversation: grieving the loss of a grandparent. With honesty beyond their years, BreeElla and Jaxsen share what grief has felt like for them, what has helped, and how families can talk about loss in ways that feel safe and loving.

Susan also demonstrates how to use a conversation guide from Axis.org, modeling practical tools grandparents, parents, and caregivers can use to create space for meaningful dialogue—especially around big emotions and life-changing experiences.

This episode is filled with sincerity, kindness, and surprising insight. It’s a reminder that children often understand far more than we expect—and that when grandparents slow down and listen, healing conversations can happen.

Whether you’re a grandparent walking alongside grieving grandchildren, or someone who wants to foster deeper connection across generations, this episode will encourage your heart and equip you with gentle, practical tools for connection.
