Megan Rollag - Beauty in Sadness

Listen Later

Matt & Megan Rollag experienced one of the unthinkable tragedies when they showed up at the hospital to expand their family for the first time. As Megan beautifully states: "Lyla was born sleeping." Megan carried Lyla to full term and when her and Matt showed up to the hospital they were informed that Lyla's heartbeat was not there. Through unspeakable tragedy comes a beautiful testimony about grief, loss, healing, redemption, marriage, and faith. Megan's testimony is powerfully blissful and redeeming. We hope you find encouragement because of the Rollag's courage to tell their story so we can stand together in grief and alone no more.
