Grieving Parents Sharing Hope

Episode 28: We Are Here for You


Listen Later

This is a bit of a different podcast, as host, Laura Diehl, invites her husband, Dave, to join her. Dave and Laura Diehl are the co-founders of the national ministry Grieving Parents Sharing Hope (GPS Hope), and in this podcast episode, they share their story, including:

  • How their oldest daughter, Becca, died
  • How what started as a church life group began to unexpectedly turn into other things, as other bereaved parents started contacting them
  • Why Laura became an author of multiple books
  • The word pareavor (how it came about)
  • How God surprised them both by laying on their hearts to sell their house and travel full-time in a motor home they lovingly call the Hope Mobile
  • What it has been like adjusting to living in a house on wheels
  • Where their travels are taking them in the next six months
  • Along with encouraging bereaved parents to be patient as they decide how they want to honor the life of their child, Dave and Laura also share about the In Loving Memory Hearts that are filling the outside of the Hope Mobile, with the names of our children who are no longer here on this earth with us.

    You are safe here. No masks needed

    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 judgement in where you are in this journey, including if you are struggling in your relationship with God or your faith has been completely shattered.
