In this episode Jennifer interviews Monica E. Martinez, a San Antonio native and widow who turned her grief into the children's book Painted Memories. Monica shares how a lifeline from another widow, a powerful dream of a puzzle-like girl, and the memory of her late husband inspired a story about friendship, loss, and the healing power of memories represented by painted rocks.

They discuss how grief changes form, why it isn’t something to "get over," and practical advice for parents and teachers to support grieving children by letting them talk and use creativity to remember loved ones. Painted Memories and Monica's work aim to offer comfort, hope, and tools for healing; the book is available through paintedmemories.net and major retailers.
