S7E15: The one where they lose someone they love - with Abigail Richardson

The Parenting for Faith podcast

Today on the podcast, we spoke to Abigail Richardson all about what we can do when our children or teens loose someone in their life that they love. How can we explain death to our children? How can we journey with them through grieving? What resources could help me explain loss to my child? These are all questions that we asked Abigail and she gave us some incredibly helpful suggestions and thoughts. Abigail is a qualified counsellor who has worked over several years with both adults and children. In more recent years she has increasingly seen how the Bible speaks to all of life and has completed the Dynamics of Biblical Counselling module with BCUK. Abigail now serves alongside her husband who is the pastor of their small local church in London. She continues to use her counselling skills to support individuals within her local church and provides counselling to the wider body of Christ.
