Charlotte Maya's memoir Sushi Tuesdays chronicles the many years she navigated her grief and that of her kids and stepkids after her husband Sam died by suicide. Charlotte unexpectedly found love again with a widower whose wife had recently died. So when they married they became a family of six grieving individuals, trying to find love and stability all under one roof. In a way, this was like living in a peer support group, but it also had many challenges. Charlotte talks about how her faith was challenged after Sam died but ultimately she found it helped the whole family find stability and comfort in church. Watching four grieving kids grow up has given Charlotte a wide perspective on the different ways adolescent grief shows up. I was so moved by our conversation and by how she and her husband Tim, like other parents I've interviewed, have done a great job of making space for their kids to grieve openly and honestly.To learn more visit Charlotte's websiteTo leave comments please rate and review on Apple podcasts or visit me on my substack: "I'm Listening."Intro and outro music by Josephine Wiggs from her Album "We Fall."
