Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–November 26, 2025)–Stacy Pellettieri, LCSW—founder, educator, and podcast host—joined The Michael Peres Podcast to examine early childhood trauma, the overlooked grief of sibling loss, and why owning one’s story can support long-term healing. The discussion explored how developmental stage shapes a child’s ability to process loss, why bereaved siblings often assume caregiving roles for parents, and practical steps families and clinicians can take to create safer spaces for grief. Pellettieri also reflected on her personal journey, the roles and attachments that form after tragedy, and the book she is writing to offer actionable guidance for families and practitioners.
