Your Question:
What do I tell my kids about their dad's passing?
Answer:
I'm so sorry to hear that you're facing this difficult situation. As a pastor and a father, I can only imagine the pain and uncertainty you must be feeling. If I were to pass away, I would want my children, Susan and I, to be honest with Joshua and Rebecca about what happened. It's essential to be truthful and open with them, even though it's a painful conversation. When explaining my passing to Joshua and Rebecca, Susan and I would want to be sensitive to their age and understanding. We would tell them that I loved them so much and that my passing was not their fault. We would also want to reassure them that they will always be loved and cared for by Susan and our family. It's essential to be honest about the circumstances surrounding my passing, but also to be gentle and compassionate in our approach. As a father, I would want Joshua and Rebecca to understand that my passing is not the end of our relationship. I would want them to know that I will always be with them in spirit and that they will always carry a piece of me with them. I would encourage them to continue living their lives with purpose and to always remember the values and principles that Susan and I have taught them.
