170: Finding God in the Darkness

When our child dies, it can take us to a very dark place, even if you have had a life-long close relationship with God through the indwelling Holy Spirit. In our place of deep grief, we become a target for the enemy, making it even more difficult to find God through the suffocating darkness.

How do we keep going when God seems so far away when we need Him the most? In the last episode Laura talked about when God seems silent. This episode she talks about finding God in that place of darkness.

169. Why Does God Seem Silent?

Often when our child dies, we search for God in our darkness and pain, but we feel like He either isn’t listening or doesn’t seem to care. Why is that?

Laura talks about some of the possibilities in today’s episode.

166: Resting in God Within the Struggle of Deep Grief

Resting in God’s love for us can be a huge struggle when we know He could have stopped the death of our child.

How do we stop struggling and start resting in the very love we are questioning?

Laura addresses this as she reads from a chapter in her book When Tragedy Strikes: Rebuilding Your Life with Hope and Healing after the Death of Your Child.
