Send Me Questions on Attachment

The process of grieving looks different for everyone, and it even happens with how fathers and mothers experience the loss of a child. It does not always look the way we want it to look, nor does it always follow the stages in the exact order in which it is presented. I think we can all agree that there are different types of suffering that bring on different levels of pain, and there is no greater pain a parent can experience than the loss of a child.  However, it is important for parents to understand that how they feel and what they think throughout this process is completely normal. The key is in reminding one's self of biblical truth and finding a strong Christian community for support. So, a question that naturally arises is, how can we trust God through the grieving process? 
 
 On today's episode, Christy and I discuss why this topic is so important to Christians who have experienced loss, but especially for parents who have lost a child. We also discussed the following topics: 

  • What Christy's parents example taught her  about Who God is
  • Experiencing the loss of a child
  • Negative messages that enter our minds and hearts during loss
  • The ministry of presence
  • Experiencing a second loss
  • The significance of names
  • Believing "It's my fault" and "Is God punishing me?" 
  • Feeling judged
  • Lastly, the "Dos" and "Don'ts" of how to support your friends experiencing grief
