Today, we listen to an interview with a woman who is currently running a well-known children’s home in Windhoek, Namibia. Though she is lovingly known as the foster mother to dozens of children, she admits that this work isn’t easy since she grew up as an orphan herself. Though there may not be a simple formula to healing from grief, we see through her story (as an orphan and later, widow) that periods of mourning can be transformed into new life.
