In today’s episode, Laura shares how she begged God to end her life after the death of her daughter. Eventually Laura decided that she did not want to live out the rest of her life as the shell of a person just waiting to die.

As Laura shares her progression of going from wanting to die, to now living a life of meaning and purpose again, she does it in a way that brings hope to other pareavors, as we all wait to be with our child again.

Thank you to Craig and Michelle Enanoria, for sponsoring today’s episode in honor of their son, Kyle.

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.

 

Waiting can be one of the hardest and most exhausting things to do. As parents who have lost a child from this earth, two things we seem to be waiting on the most are for it to stop hurting so much, and obviously waiting to be with our child again.

This week Laura talks about waiting for it to stop hurting so much. Next week she will discuss waiting to be with our child again.

If you know Laura, you know that she feels things deeply and tears come easily to her. Somehow, she manages to hold those tears back when recording the podcast episodes… but not this time.

A miracle is something only God can do, which is what we wanted (and even expected) for our children, either in a healing or in protection. When that doesn’t happen, our disappointment and even anger with God can make us feel like He betrayed us.

Listen in today to what Laura shares deeply from her heart about God and his miracles in our lives.
