Our guest today is Melissa Richards, a wife and mum of four. She is originally from Canada but moved to Australia in 2007.She is the Children's Pastor at Door of Hope Christian Church in Tasmania and became a Parenting for Faith champion six months ago. She talks us through how she used the questions tool (from the big questions chapter of An A - Z of Parenting for Faith) to help her son when his Nana died. This episode explores processing the death of the loved one so feel free to skip this week if that’s particularly raw for you at the moment.
