While this episode begins with a reflection on the United States’ Independence Day and its 250th anniversary, the message reaches far beyond one nation’s celebration. For grieving parents everywhere, the longing for freedom from pain is something we all understand. In this episode, Laura shares how Scripture points us to a different kind of freedom—one that isn’t found in the absence of grief, but in the presence of Christ.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to carry both grief and hope, this gentle conversation will encourage your heart. Discover what finding freedom after child loss can look like as you continue loving your child, trusting God, and taking one step at a time toward the life He still has for you.

Grieving Parents Sharing Hope (GPS Hope) is here to walk with parents through the darkness of child-loss, guiding them to a place of hope, light and purpose.

It is a safe place for anyone who has lost a child from this earth. There is no shame or judgment in where you are in this journey, including if you are struggling in your relationship with God or your faith has been completely shattered.
