Description
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.
