Have you ever taken the time to look at parents in the Bible who have lost a child as a powerful resource that speaks directly to the heart of  grieving parents walking through child loss today?

In this episode, Laura takes us on a short journey of just a few parents in the Bible who experienced the death of a child. From Adam and Eve's loss of Abel, to King David's grief over his infant son, to Job's unimaginable pain of losing all his children, these ancient stories have deep truths for those of us who have lost a child, as well as reminding us that we are not alone in our grief.

Laura also takes a deeper look at God's goodness and mercy, even within the intense pain of child loss, and why our faith must rest on who God is rather than what we think He should (or shouldn't) do.

This conversation will reassure you that you're not alone, and that there is no pressure or timetable when it comes to what you keep or release. Your child's life is worth remembering in the way that brings you comfort and peace. 

The insights Laura shares in this episode were taken from her newly released book The Bible's Grieving Parents: Finding Comfort, Hope and Faith from Their Stories.

If you've been struggling with questions like Where is God in this pain? or How do I keep living with a broken heart? I wrote this book for you. My prayer is that these biblical stories will remind you that you are not alone, and that God's goodness and mercy are still at work in your life, just as He was in the lives of those we read about in the Bible.
