In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Turning Pain into Peace, Laura sits down with Angela Alexander to share a story marked by unimaginable loss and remarkable faith. After enduring multiple tragedies, including the devastating loss of her two young sons in a car accident, Angela opens her heart to reveal how God met her in the depths of grief and began a journey of healing. Her story is not one of avoiding pain, but of walking through it and discovering that even in the darkest places, peace is possible.

As they talk, the conversation gently unfolds into what it means to begin turning pain into peace; not through quick answers, but through surrender, forgiveness, and a deep, personal relationship with God. Angela shares practical and spiritual insights that helped her move from overwhelming grief into a place of purpose, offering hope to bereaved parents who may feel stuck in that suffocating darkness. This episode is a reminder that while the pain of child loss never fully disappears, God can meet us there and lead us into a life that holds both sorrow and peace.

A sister, an Air Force Reserve retiree, a wife, a mother, an inspirational speaker, and now an author and executive producer of her own documentary film. She is the narrator of her autobiography, Miracles in Action: Turning Pain into Power and Grief into Peace. Rather than succumbing to darkness and despair after facing continuous hardship and loss, she chose to find strength and inspire others facing similar challenges, guided by God himself. Angela has been actively speaking at ceremonies in churches, retreats, and conferences to inspire and encourage people to stay hopeful and never give up.
