EP: 1 Dealing with the Traumatic Loss of a Child with C.J. and Greg Malson (Part 1)

Family is the most important thing to all of us and when something happens to disrupt that, it can be incredibly difficult. That’s why we’re grateful for today’s guests, C.J. and Greg Malson, who are former clients and endured a traumatic loss in 2019 when their son Ian died tragically.

Everyone wants to hear that everything will be okay, but we want to have an open and honest conversation about the true feelings and emotions that parents have to process in this unthinkable situation.

We’ve broken this conversation into three parts since there’s a lot to digest, but you’ll want to hear each piece of the story. In this first video, we’ll get more background on the Malson family and how important the relationships with their children have been since day one. You’ll get to hear some of the stories and memories they cherish with their children, but you’ll also get a little sense of the demands that Greg faced working as an attorney in the military.
