286: How Can I Trust God Again?

Many of us thought we were building our lives on the Rock, until our child died, and we found ourselves in the sinking sand. Last week Laura shared from the hymn The Solid Rock as a springboard to talk about that.

This week, Laura continues the conversation, using a second hymn to share how she believes we can get out of the sinking sand and back onto the Rock.

284: Thinking About Heaven After Child Loss

Heaven. That is often on the mind of those of us who have lost a child. So, let’s talk about it.

In today’s episode, you will hear something written by a grieving dad that leads into a discussion about heaven with three points Laura makes. She ends the episode with some imagination from a few of you about heaven and what our children might be doing there while waiting for us to join them.

Today’s episode is sponsored by parents who wish to remain anonymous, in honor of their daughter, Cassandra.

283: Does God Have a Word for You?

Many people use the beginning of each year to set new goals or see it as a time for a fresh start. As parents who have lost a child (especially in those first few years) those are not things we are interested in at all. In fact, we don’t want to go into a new year without our child and it can weigh us down.

But, what if God could speak something into your place of darkness that could bring you the hope, comfort and strength you need? Listen in, as Laura shares some of those personal words she has received over the years, and encourages other shattered parents that they can do the same.

282: Grief Is a Journey (with Glen Lord)

Today you will be hearing Laura interview Glen Lord, who has been on this grief journey of child loss since 1999, when his five-year-old son, Noah, died. Glen’s heart of compassion comes through, along with nuggets that can be tucked away and pulled out when needed while on this unwanted journey.

Glen Lord was on the fast track to accomplishing his goal of being a CEO of a fortune 500 company. The death of his son, Noah, in 1999 put brakes on the life he had so carefully planned. As Glen sought a new path, he realized that there was a need for genuine, accurate grief information. This realization, plus his extensive business experience, fueled the founding of The Grief Toolbox and creation of the Walking Through Grief® program, both offer a community of grief resources around the world and a marketplace of grief and memorial products. Glen is past president of the national board of directors of The Compassionate Friends. He is a sought after keynote, inspirational presenter and workshop leader.
