Jacke Rose, founder of Grieving Moms Finding Hope, joins Sharon Betters to talk about her journey to find hope and purpose after the death by suicide of her son, Randy. The loss of a child cannot be fathomed but Jacke’s son also unsuccessfully attempted to take the lives of his children, wife and father-in-law. Jacke fearlessly shares her story of how God’s amazing grace has not only given her confidence in God’s grace but immediately bonded her daughter-in-love and grandchildren with her into a beautiful picture of His redeeming love as they lived together and navigated the horror of the loss of Randy. As two bereaved mothers, Jacke and Sharon talk about the importance of biblical lament, leaning into the pain of grief and intentionally incorporating Bible study, Christian music and a circle of friends into every day life. Jacke describes how women who join one of the Grieving Moms small groups often fill their first meeting with wailing and longing for their child but twelve weeks later, after digging into scripture with a group of like-minded women, express hope and a desire to comfort others with the comfort they have received.
As Jacke struggled to make sense of her son’s death, she prayed, “Dear Father, give me words from Heaven, into my heart, into my head and through my hands. What do I do with the loss of my beautiful son?” And the Lord gave her these marching orders, “Give them Hope, Jacke.”
Jacke gives listeners hope in this conversation.
