Grief and Pastoral Care

“As heat and pressure make diamonds out of coal, so pain and prayer have made this book a priceless gem.” —Robert Owens Scott, Editor in Chief, Spirituality and Health

This profound new video resource offers helpful information to adults (parents, caregivers, professionals) on how to help children of all ages grieve with hope and heart. You will meet two experts: Khris Ford and Paula D’Arcy, whose personal experiences with death give them intimate knowledge and compassion.

Building on the tremendous support and reception of their first video, Helping Children Grieve, counselors, survivors and friends Khris Ford and Paula D'Arcy have created this new resource with Paraclete Press for helping parents and family members grieving the death of a child.

Death comes to all of us, but there is a difference between the world’s view and the Christian perspective. The world looks away and tries to hide, “but we as faithful people have the power and ability to look death straight in the eye and understand it.”
