They need help to express the sadness, fear, and anger that comes after encountering death. Thankfully, God has given us a pathway through grief. He promises to lead your family up and out of the dark valley of grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDarby A.

She shares two restorative practices to help you navigate an unwanted grief journey. The first is to help you and your children speak directly to the Lord about your sadness and to look for his comfort. The second is to give your family meaningful opportunities to remember your loved one, which will encourage healing and connection. Grief is a journey that doesn't come with linear directions—but it has a destination. God invites us to come to him, and we can help our children see that we grieve best when we grieve with God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-row a-spacing-base a-spacing-top-medium a-grid-vertical-align a-grid-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-cardui-deck\" name=\"a-cardui-deck-autoname-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-cardui _about-the-author-card_carouselItemStyles_expander__3Fm-M\" name=\"a-cardui-deck-autoname-0-card0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-cardui-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-reactive-container a-reactive-container-transition\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-cardui-content _about-the-author-card_carouselItemStyles_peekableContent__hWM3i\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDarby A.
