What do you do when the person you love is dying?

And how do you keep living after they’re gone?

In this deeply moving episode of Born Without a Choice, Rachel Kerr Schneider shares her powerful journey through love, loss, faith, and resilience. After losing her husband, John, to ALS, Rachel made a decision that surprised everyone—she wore red to his funeral.

Why red?

Because red represents celebration, courage, the Holy Spirit, and hope in the midst of heartbreak.

Rachel opens up about caring for a terminally ill spouse, helping children navigate grief, facing unimaginable loss, and finding the strength to keep moving forward when life changes forever.

This is a conversation about grief, faith, healing, and discovering that even after life’s darkest moments, purpose and joy can still be found.
