In light of the recent news regarding local girl Jessica Ridgeway's disappearance and death, our community is hurting. As moms of young children, I know we all feel this grief keenly.As stated by David Platt, "Suffering is a sobering reality in a fallen world. Followers of Christ are not immune to adversity and affliction."
How can we make sense of suffering?
A Holy Experience has recently posted a video on this very subject (embedded below).
Here are a couple more resources that may be helpful as we process our grief and also teach and reassure our children.
- How to Help Children Cope with Trauma
- Helping Children Regain Their Emotional Safety After a Tragedy (This entire website is a huge resource for teaching kids safety without making them feel scared.)
