How to Gently Guide Your Girl Through Seasons of Sorrow

As adults, we understand the full circle of life. We rejoice in the knowledge that our forever home will be in heaven. But how do our children process loss, especially of a family member or close friend? 

Some withdraw, others act out, and some seem to not be outwardly affected. Take the time to talk with your daughter in an age-appropriate way about loss and sorrow. Let her know that you are there to listen.  

Grief may feel like it’s never-ending, but using God’s word as a guide through the good times and bad will be a source of comfort. The Book of John shares, “So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.” 

John 16:22, NIV
