Life & Faith

Life shocks and how to survive them


Listen Later

Julia Verdouw used silence, faith and writing poetry to survive the sudden death of her husband.

Julia is an accomplished academic and policy expert, but her book In the Valley of the Shadow may be her most important work.  Through reflection, poetry and prayers, the book documents her journey of grief.

Regardless of who we are or what we believe, suffering comes for us all. Perhaps the worst kind of suffering is the grief that we face when we lose someone we love. How can we navigate such immense loss and deep sorrow?

In this episode, we explore Julia’s journey of finding comfort, strength, hope, and even redemption, through the deepest suffering.
