Grieving Parents Sharing Hope

305: Waiting for Answers After Child Loss


Listen Later

Have you found yourself stuck in the endless questions of why after your child died? Why did this happen? Why my child? Why didn't God stop it? In this raw and tender episode, Laura gently explores what it means to live in that painful space between loss and healing where answers often never come, and closure feels like a betrayal.

Drawing from a powerful quote, You can get closure, or you can move on, but you can't have both , Laura speaks directly to grieving hearts. She reassures us that moving forward does not mean letting go of our child, but instead carrying their love with us into a life that can still have purpose, even without answers.

Through honest reflection and Scripture, you'll be reminded that:

  • It's okay to not have closure.
  • It's okay to not be okay.
  • And it's okay to begin hoping again.
  • Laura also prays a heartfelt prayer of comfort, peace, and a gentle nudge toward hope, even if it's just a flicker.

    Whether you're barely breathing or beginning to take tiny steps, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that you are not alone and you can be a pareavor with hope.
