Talking to Kids About Death From a Christian Perspective

Talking with kids about sickness, grief, and death is never easy—but it’s essential. In this episode, counselor and speaker Paige Clingenpeel joins producer Mike Segovia to share honest, practical ways parents can walk their children through these difficult moments. Paige opens up about her own health journey, the questions kids naturally ask, and how parents can give age-appropriate, hope-filled answers without needing to have it all figured out. Together, they discuss how children process grief differently than adults, why honesty matters more than perfection, and how modeling faith in hard times points kids to Jesus. As Paige reminds us: “God has a different view than we do. He sees the bigger picture… and He is still a good God, even in this.” Episode 62-Hope in Grief with Dr. Curt Thompson: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2271776/ep...
