How do you explain loss to a child when you’re struggling to make sense of it yourself?
In this vulnerable and hope-filled episode of At This Table, Shelly sits down with children’s author Donna Arthur Downs to discuss her beautifully written picture book Always and Forever, created to help children gently process grief while holding on to treasured memories.
Donna shares the personal inspiration behind her book, the profound question at the heart of the story—"Does forever stop?"—and how families can walk through loss together with honesty, love, and faith. This conversation offers both comfort and practical tools for parents, grandparents, and anyone caring for children in the middle of grief.
