Grieving Parents Sharing Hope

237: Preparing for Advent as a Bereaved Parent


Listen Later

Those of us who have lost a child can begin to dread the end-of-the-year holidays way before they arrive, especially the Christmas season.

Several years ago, as Laura struggled with this, she ended up putting together her own advent time with God. Today she talks about this, and how you can join her on a special advent journey, specifically for bereaved parents.

This podcast episode is sponsored by Peter and Yuniati Dinh, in memory of their 21-month-old daughter, Hanna Abigail.
