  • My Daughter Is Curious About Death. How Do We Talk About It?

    My Daughter Is Curious About Death. How Do We Talk About It?
    2026/06/30
    How do you talk to your child about death, and help them connect with family members who have passed away? In this episode, we're exploring that question with a mom who wants her daughter to feel close to the grandmother she never knew. This is a conversation about navigating grief, raising emotionally attuned kids, and finding beauty in the impermanence of life. Talkaboutable is produced by Lemonada Media, in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health at Montage Health, and made possible through funding from the Montage Health Foundation. Together, we are committed to helping families talk about the issues children, teens, and young adults are facing today. We believe that when these conversations happen at home — even about the most challenging subjects — children build the skills they need to flourish. Because when families are connected, the hard moments become more bearable, the good moments become even better, and it all becomes Talkaboutable.
