Your Question:
How do I tell my kids that I'm dying?
Answer:
Telling your kids that you're dying is one of the most difficult conversations you'll ever have. Before we dive into that, I want to gently ask you, "Why do you feel like you need to have this conversation with your kids?" Is there something specific that's prompted you to ask this question? Be honest with your answers, just as I try to be honest with my children, Joshua and Rebecca. I want to build trust between you, your child, and God. When I do have to have this conversation, I'll be honest with my kids. I'll tell them that I love them and that I'm proud of the people they're becoming. I'll explain that our time on this earth is limited, and that we should cherish the time we have together. I'll remind them that God is always with us, and that He has a plan for our lives, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. I'll be careful not to lie or minimize the truth, but instead, I'll offer hope and reassurance that God is always with us. As a pastor, I've seen many families struggle with difficult conversations like this. But I've also seen the power of honesty and love in building trust and strengthening relationships. So, take a deep breath, be honest, and remember that God is always with you and your child. As you have this conversation, pray for wisdom and guidance, and trust that God will give you the words you need to say.
