Grieving Parents Sharing Hope

310: When "Why?" Can Become the Wrong Question After Child Loss


Listen Later

After the death of our child, one of the first and most desperate questions we ask God is Why?

Why my child?

Why didn't You stop it?
Why couldn't it have been different?

But what if why isn't the question that will bring us to a place of healing? What if there's another question that opens our hearts to God's love and help in the middle of our pain?

In this episode, Laura shares her own journey from wrestling with why to discovering a far better question one that God actually delights in answering. You'll hear personal stories, scriptural encouragement, and an invitation to shift your focus toward hope and restoration.

Whether you're in the raw early days of loss or years down the road, this conversation can help you take one small step out of the darkness and into God's loving presence.
