S. Michael Wilcox: Grief, Loss and “Filling Eternity With Love"


Listen Later

In 2010, S. Michael Wilcox lost his wife, Laurie, as the result of an inoperable brain tumor. Previously, the couple had dreams of traveling the world together. Instead, for the last decade, Wilcox has traveled alone, seeking solace from the grief of his loss and looking for confirmation from God that he is on the right track to see his beloved wife again. On this week’s episode, we discuss the lessons he has learned from loss and the truths he has found in love that lasts forever.

“Grief is love’s shadow. If we didn’t love, we wouldn’t grieve.”
