In the last seven weeks, we have been in a series of people in the Bible who lost a child.

We have looked at

Adam and Eve who were the parents of the first person who died in the Bible (#49: The First Death in the Bible was a Son Who Was Murdered)

This will be the last episode of this series.

We all had hopes and plans for the future of our children. No matter the age of the death of our child, none of us planned for our own future to not include our child who is no longer here with us.

There are times that an entire group of children are wiped out such as mass shootings.) Unfortunately, this isn't new. In this episode, we look at a couple of groups in the Bible, who as a mass of parents, had that future taken from them in an instant.

Even if our children died in the same or similar way of others, some of the issues we deal with may be the same, but our individual grief is still unique and different than any other person's grief.

There are things we can do, to help ourselves, which are shared with the listeners, including making sure we are connected to others who are ahead of us on this journey.
