In this poignant conversation a son, Dr. Chuck L. Betters, talks to his mother, Sharon Betters, about her grief journey after the loss of her sixteen-year-old son, Mark. They use Sharon’s book, Treasures in Darkness as a jumping off place and dive right into some of the hardest places of grief with the goal of offering help and hope to other grieving parents. Sharon’s journal is the center piece of Treasures in Darkness and her transparency inviting others into the most intimate parts of her journey gave son Chuck permission to dig deeper as they talked about the night of Mark’s death, the gift of wrestling, the importance of biblical lament, how to respect different ways of grieving and so much more. Even if you have not lost a child, this conversation will give you insights into the dark pit of grief and how to come alongside a broken friend, no matter the cause of their sorrow.
