In the Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy
In this episode, we discuss the keys to helping children who’ve recently lost a loved one.
Talk to them about what happened and what’s going to happen next.
- Explain to them their loved one’s last breath on Earth is their first breath in Heaven.
- Let them know they’ll be sad for a while, but the pain will go away.
Help fill in the gap.
- Teach them things their loved one would have taught them if they were still around.
- Let them know you’re there for them.
Don’t be afraid to ask them how they’re doing.
- Ask them if they think about their loved one.
- Tell them how their loved one impacted your life.
Tune in to hear what Andy recently said to two children who lost their father.
