Lately I have been hearing from several of you, “I know my child is in heaven and no longer has to deal with pain and suffering, but what about me? What about my family? Why doesn’t God seem to care how much pain we are in from my child’s death?”
This has been tugging on me, so I decided to devote a podcast episode to this topic. This episode is from my heart, sharing a word I believe came from God on this, and my own insight on some things God has shown me since the death of my own daughter that might help soften some of these kinds of frustrations.
Links Mentioned in this episode:
Information on the multiple award-winning book When Tragedy Strikes: Rebuilding Your Life With Hope and Healing after the Death of Your Child.

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.
Thank you for answering this question for me. I really thought God had forgotten about me…and my family. Guess I was wrong. This is going to be hard and painful but I’ll give it a try. I’ll trust God to be true to His word.
It is a process for sure! All of this is a journey we learn and grow on, along with “setbacks” when we wish we were doing better. Sometimes we know it in our heads, but it takes a while for our hearts to line up. Give yourself lots of grace in all of this!
