Avi from London shares his journey of loss after his grandfather's passing three years ago, while author Sarah Miriam Gross discusses her book "Invisible Tribe" for children coping with parental loss and offers guidance on supporting those grieving.

• Avi describes his close relationship with his grandfather "Poppy" and the painful experience of losing him to cancer during COVID
• Avi reflects on his healing process and how we're given "the power to forget such sadness that we won't be sad all the time"
• Sarah Miriam Gross explains how her personal experience of losing her father in first grade inspired her book "Invisible Tribe"
• The concept of the "invisible tribe" represents children who share the experience of loss but cannot be identified from the outside
• Sarah Miriam provides practical advice for being a supportive friend to someone who has experienced loss, emphasizing treating them normally rather than like "fragile crystal"
• Different children respond to grief in unique ways - some maintain normalcy, some constantly reminisce, others become overly serious
• Sensitivity involves balancing normal treatment with awareness of potentially painful topics
• Avi maintains connection to his grandfather by saying brachos aloud and inviting others to respond with "amen"
