Jon Lefrandt Reflects on Supporting His Six Younger Siblings After Their Dad Died

I had such a great discussion with Jon Lefrandt for this episode. As we close out Children’s Grief Awareness Month, I’m really excited to share Jon’s story and perspective with you. He lost his dad when he was just 24—and he had to step in and help care for his six younger siblings and help them with their grief, both short term and long term. I know you’ll learn a lot from what Jon has to share with us.
