0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, Episode 60, interview with Jana to Christophero.
0:10.3	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward
0:23.2	to.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.7	Hey there.
0:33.9	Welcome to another episode of the podcast.
0:36.6	Got something a little bit different for you today.
0:40.0	It's an interview with someone I think you're going to learn a lot from, but she's not a widowed mom.
0:46.5	I know that's not normal. It's not what I normally do on this podcast, but I really want you to hear
0:51.4	what this woman has to say. She is also, in addition to her role at the Duggy Center, which is the National Center for Grieving Children and Families, located in Portland. She is also the host of a podcast. And so she might be a familiar voice to you already. She's the host of a podcast called Grief Out Loud, a very helpful podcast.

1:31.5	Jana is someone who, for the last nearly 20 years, has specialized in working with grieving children and families.
1:40.6	So she knows this journey from a different but very useful perspective than what you
1:49.4	and I have, right? She's not a widowed mom, but she sees what families go through who are grieving.
1:56.8	And I just cannot wait for you to hear from her. I also want to tell you their website,
2:02.9	duggy.org, so good. So many quick tip sheets and little pieces of information that are just usable,
2:10.2	practical, very tangible information for you, especially if you're looking for information on how
2:17.3	to support your children as they
2:19.7	are in grief. I think you'll find a lot of value in what Jana has to say in the interview,
