Why is God silent when I need Him more than ever? Does He not care? Has He abandoned me? Have I done something that has made Him mad at me?

This week Laura shares from a book that addresses these thoughts, based on when God was silent after His Son was tortured and died a painful death.

Grieving Parents Sharing Hope (GPS Hope) is here to walk with parents through the darkness of child-loss, guiding them to a place of hope, light and purpose.

It is a safe place for anyone who has lost a child from this earth. There is no shame or judgment in where you are in this journey, including if you are struggling in your relationship with God or your faith has been completely shattered.

Everyone who has lost a child is affected in some way in the area of grandchildren, making it a big topic with many angles.

In today’s episode, Laura talks about those who have grandchildren through their child who is no longer here, and how quite often those grandchildren are removed from our lives (which Laura has personal experience with.)

She also brings on Sara Nelson, who lost her only child who did not have children, to talk about what it is like knowing you will never be a grandparent.

Next week, Laura will continue this discussion with several other ways it can affect us, including bringing on someone who is now raising her grandchildren.

Note: Today’s episode is being sponsored by Chris & ReNae Trebelhorn in memory of their son, Aaron.

When our child leaves this earth, we feel so very lost in our identity. Who am I now? Does it even matter? How can I go on? Do I even want to?

So much of our identity is wrapped up in being a parent, but we are still so much more than being a parent, even if it doesn’t seem like it. In today’s episode, Laura reminds us of this, along with helping us discover a key to who we can be, as we continue our time here on earth without our child.
