With the Christmas season in full swing, it can make missing our child brutal. Finding the right gift to give others may not be on your radar right now, much less giving any gifts to yourself. However, those who have been on this journey for a while know how important it is find helpful ways to get through this painful time of year.
In this episode, Laura helps us to be okay with giving gifts to ourselves, with a few suggestions on how to possibly make this time of year a tiny bit more bearable.

Laura – wonderful podcast! I just spoke to a mom who reached out to me last night & plans to come to H.U.G.S. (Healing Under God’s Sovereignty), tomorrow night. Your podcast ties in so perfectly with some of what we spoke about on the phone. I could go on and on but I just wanted to let you know that I truly enjoyed listening to this podcast. I took notes and requested the Anne Ross Rogers PDF . Thank you so much for all Dave and you do!
