Episode 93 - Stewarding Grief Well With Our Kids - Part II

Last week, Donna Nicholson Steif admitted that she was “grief illiterate” before she lost her son in a tragic accident. She shared her personal story of great loss, walked us through what grief is & talked about why processing and discussing our grief is pivotal to our health and well-being.

Today you’ll join the rest of our conversation which covers how children grieve differently than adults, how we can help them process in healthy ways, and what NOT to say to a grieving person. We share several scriptural truths that will encourage your heart, and provide a link to a GriefShare support group near you.

Ready to hear how you can steward grief well with the kids in your life? Let’s go!
