Episode Synopsis

Here on The Restoried Podcast, we don’t want to shy away from talking about the hard things. That is why we are starting a series about dealing with grief and loss in the realm of foster care and adoption. In this emotionally resonant episode, we dive into the profound complexities of foster care, focusing on the often-overlooked aspect of ambiguous loss. We share our deeply personal experiences of caring for a foster child and the intricate web of emotions that accompany their departure. From the initial bond formed to the heart-wrenching farewell, we explore the lingering sense of loss and longing that persists in the aftermath. Through candid reflection, we discuss the intricacies of navigating such transitions, shedding light on the resilience and love that define the foster care journey. Join us as we unravel the layers of ambiguous loss and honor the profound connections forged in the face of impermanence.Episode Highlights: Grief & Loss What is ambiguous loss? Our stories and experiences of ambiguous loss Children experiencing ambiguous loss Links from this Episode: Love You From Right Here Book Register for Mobilize OH 2024 Find a Support Group Find More on Hope Bridge:Visit Our Website Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook Foster Our Community Instagram This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.RSVP for Thanksgiving Together Here!
