Episode Ep. 124: Walking Through Grief with Kids (a Chat with Wit)
Join us as we tackle the tricky topic of grief and children.
A few weeks ago, a reader whose husband had died under tragic circumstances asked for resources on how to navigate grief with her four children.
So I invited my pastor Wit (Rick Witmer) on to share from the perspective of a biblical counselor.
In this episode, he introduces the idea of “trellissing” grief in a way that helps our kids make sense of it biblically. We also chat about more practical tools (like using the acronym GRIEFS) to guide our interactions with our kids as they are mourning.
The biblical principles we discuss in this episode are helpful for any parent navigating grief with their children, but they also apply to numerous other aspects of parenting. So even if you’re not dealing with this exact topic, I encourage you to listen in.
