Grieving the loss of a baby while caring for young children at home can feel overwhelming. In this episode, Kristin Hernandez is joined by Jennie Parks and Julie Lehman to discuss what it looks like to walk through grief while also parenting living children. We talk about tending to our own sorrow while helping children navigate theirs, talking about death and heaven in age-appropriate ways, and resources that were helpful.
If you’re parenting through grief, we hope this conversation reminds you that you don’t have to do it perfectly. You don’t have to have all the right answers. What your children need most is your presence, your honesty, and your dependence on Jesus — the One who walks with us in every valley.
