Grieving Parents Sharing Hope

83: Working Through the Darkness of Child Loss


Listen Later

When our child dies, we find ourselves in a place of darkness we didn't even know existed.

There are often many struggles within that place of darkness. Today we will touch on three of these:

  • Prayer
  • Those around us who don't understand and aren't supporting us
  • How our thoughts can keep us in our place of darkness
  • I want to encourage you that it won't always be this dark. Those of us who are on this journey ahead of you thought we would never come out, but we did, at some point. Grieving Parents Sharing Hope (GPS Hope) is here, is to walk with you through that darkness, to help guide you back into a place of light, hope and even a life of meaning and purpose again. Our prayer is that we can help you get there quicker than you would be able to get there by yourself.
