How Do We Talk to Our Children About Death: Faith, Family, and Healing ft Author Jenny Powers

Disclaimer: This episode includes conversations about death, grief, and the loss of a child. Listener and viewer discretion is advised. In this deeply personal episode of the Discover Virginia Podcast, Joseph is joined by his in-laws, Jenny and Mac Powers, along with his daughter, Blake, for an honest conversation about helping children understand death and navigate grief within a family. Jenny shares the story behind the devotional and family guide she wrote to give parents and caregivers age-appropriate language, thoughtful reflection, and faith-based support during one of life’s most difficult experiences. Together, the family discusses how children process loss, why adults should not avoid hard conversations, and how Christian faith can provide comfort, hope, and a sense of connection during seasons of grief. This episode is about more than a book. It is about family, faith, remembrance, and creating space for children to ask questions, express their emotions, and grieve without feeling alone.
