There is a path through grief. Helping our grieving teens make progress along that path is so important. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Kathy Knochel and Craig Stickling give us practical tips on doing just that.
Things to remember as you walk with a grieving teen:
- Acknowledge the difficulty.
- Listen to their thoughts and feelings.
- Ask for permission.
- Remember anniversaries.
- Remember the intensity of grief will over time subside.
- Healing comes by moving though the grief cycle. https://www.accounseling.org/phases-of-grief/
- Healing comes by processing the loss.
- Healing comes by connecting with Christ.
- Healing comes by acceptance.
