Shepherding a Grieving Child

Dad Tired

Pastor Chris Hilken discusses the importance of preparing children for moments of loss and trauma. He outlines a systematic approach to help parents guide their children through grief and provide them with a solid foundation of faith. The approach involves practicing presence, reassuring the child of the parent's support, empathizing with their emotions, praying together, teaching from scripture, instilling hope for the future, embracing their questions, and acknowledging the healthiness of their grieving process.
