When our child dies, many of us struggle with not wanting to continue living here on earth. We want to go be with our child, even if we know in our heads there are reasons to stay, such as other children or a spouse, friends, ministries, or a job we enjoy.

How can we get past that feeling and be okay with being here (for who knows how long) without our child? In this episode, Laura shares some of the things that personally helped her through that time after her daughter, Becca died.

Today’s episode is sponsored by Richard and LaRee Lorenz, in memory of their son, Rodney Dean Lorenz.

It is a safe place for anyone who has lost a child from this earth. There is no shame or judgment in where you are in this journey, including if you are struggling in your relationship with God or your faith has been completely shattered.

For many of us who have lost a child, it seems like God is silent when we need Him the most. We can be very angry how God seemed to be absent to keep our child from dying, and now He is absent in helping us through the darkness. Today is part two of this topic, with looking at how there was a painful silence for the disciples after Jesus died a cruel death at the hands of the Romans.

Why is God silent when I need Him more than ever? Does He not care? Has He abandoned me? Have I done something that has made Him mad at me?

This week Laura shares from a book that addresses these thoughts, based on when God was silent after His Son was tortured and died a painful death.
