Episode 95-Talking to Kids About Death From a Christian Perspective
Talking with kids about sickness, grief, and death is never easy—but it’s essential. In this episode, counselor and speaker Paige Clingenpeel joins producer Mike Segovia to share honest, practical ways parents can walk their children through these difficult moments. Paige opens up about her own health journey, the questions kids naturally ask, and how parents can give age-appropriate, hope-filled answers without needing to have it all figured out. Together, they discuss how children process grief differently than adults, why honesty matters more than perfection, and how modeling faith in hard times points kids to Jesus. As Paige reminds us: “God has a different view than we do. He sees the bigger picture… and He is still a good God, even in this.”

Paige’s Practical Tips:
- Be honest and clear
- Choose your words wisely and keep the conversation age appropriate
- Point people to Jesus
- Death is not the end. It’s a great opportunity to have a conversation about what happens after we die and point people to Jeus.
- Invite Questions
- Ask, What are you thinking? How are you feeling?
- Keep checking in with your children
- Be a safe place for them to ask questions not just when a death happens, but also later as they are processing and grieving
