Episode 11: Stephanie Eckler


Listen Later

In 2016, Stephanie lost her son Jackson Jumonville. He was only 7 years old at the time of his accident.

Jackson had come down with a stomach virus at his dad's house. He went from a healthy child to passing away within less than 24 hours later. After getting to the hospital she found out Jackson was not intubated correctly and was declared brain dead.

Jackson saved 4 lives and gave eye sight. Stephanie found her platform to to tell others about donation through losing Jackson.

After his death, she could not believe she was a grieving mom. She was in shock and felt like she was living in a BAD dream. 6 months later, this bad dream was her "new" normal. She immediately felt the need to help other grieving moms, because as she helped others she felt that it was helping her. She has felt the calling to journey and talk to other grieving moms.

Today, you will find Stephanie telling other grieving moms to "call me" Because what we are all looking for is something positive to this awful new life.

God has a big purpose on your life, because this does not happen to many moms, but when it does .... you have big purpose.

Stephanie has been known to always say "God knew that I would do anything for him," so taking Jackson home early has changed her forever and now God has my full attention.

She often shares that this is is not her story - this is God's story because her story would look different. She would be a mom with 3 living children not a mom of 2 living and 1 deceased. However, she knows we are passing through this temporary life and one-day she will see him again, so she just tells her "Jesus" story of how grief has changed her.
