Raising Fatherless Kids

169. “Where’s Daddy?” - Helping Moms Answer Hard Questions


Listen Later

When a child loses their father, the question “Where’s Daddy?” can come at any time—and for a grieving mom, answering it can feel emotional and more challenging than the simple question asked. In this episode of Raising Fatherless Kids, we talk about how to navigate this tender moment with grace, wisdom, and biblical truth.

If you are a mom navigating deep grief while helping your child understand the loss of their father, this conversation offers biblical guidance and emotional support to remind you that you are not alone. God is near. He is a Father to the fatherless and will equip you in every hard moment.

You will learn:

  • Why this question is often repeated, and how to prepare your heart to respond compassionately.

  • How to communicate with young children about death.

  • How to talk about heaven in a way a young heart can understand.

  • What to do if your child’s father died by suicide or violence.

  • How to share the hope of the gospel without oversimplifying eternal truths.
