Is God Absent in My Grief? Living with Unanswered Questions After Child Loss

Have you ever whispered in the dark, "God, where are You?" When your child is no longer walking beside you, the silence can feel unbearable. The ache of unanswered questions presses in: Why my child? Why now? Why this way?

In this episode, we step into the raw space of those questions and open Scripture to see how others—like Habakkuk, Job, and David—wrestled with God in their grief. You'll hear how God responded to them, and how His timing and presence speak into the silence we face today.

Together we'll explore:

• Why unanswered questions don't mean unanswered prayers

• How God's timing differs from our urgency

• The hope hidden in Habakkuk's cry: "Lord, how long?"

• Why waiting on God is not abandonment but love

You don't have to erase your questions to have faith. God is not absent—He is working in ways you may not see yet.
