NOW FOR PART TWO:

In this profound Part Two conversation, Shruti Trivedi shares one of the most spine-chilling and beautiful moments of her healing journey—when her three-year-old son began carrying two identical pandas everywhere, calling them "his brothers" and insisting they stay together. He had no way of knowing about the identical twin boys she lost. Until he pointed to the sky and said, "I saw them."

Shruti and Sharna explore the mysterious spiritual connections young children have—particularly around age three—when they seem to exist between worlds, speaking with spirits and seeing what we cannot. They discuss the importance of age-appropriate grief conversations with children, why we must use literal language ("died" not "passed away"), and how children process trauma through play.

This conversation also tackles the ongoing challenge of parenting both your earthside children and your angel babies simultaneously. Shruti shares how she's learned to balance grieving her three losses while being present for her three living children, and why she refuses to forget her babies—instead choosing to "move forward WITH all six of my children."

From the terror of wondering if removing the pandas was the right choice, to finding peace in that spiritual connection, to attending candlelight vigils and creating meaningful rituals—this episode shows the multifaceted, ongoing nature of healing after loss.

Key Topics:

  • The mysterious pandas story: when a three-year-old revealed what he "saw"
  • Why young children (especially around age 3) seem to connect with the spirit realm
  • How to talk to children about death and loss with age-appropriate honesty
  • Using literal language ("died" not "passed") and why it matters
  • Children processing trauma through play
  • The balancing act of parenting living children while honoring angel babies
  • Creating meaningful rituals and connections (candlelight vigils, memory practices)
  • Why healing is "work in progress" and that's okay
  • Being proactive in your healing journey while allowing all emotions
  • Choosing how to move forward WITH your babies, not without them
