In this episode, Mark Gregston, Courtney Lafleur and Wayne Shepherd discuss how teens experience loss — not just through death, but also through breakups, rejection and life changes. The three stress the importance of creating a safe space for teens to express their grief without rushing to fix it or offer easy answers. Grief is personal and often confusing, so being present and listening matters more than finding the right words. Ultimately, loss can shape us, and God remains present even when we don't understand the pain.
