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.

Grieving Parents Sharing Hope (GPS Hope) is here to walk with parents through the darkness of child-loss, guiding them to a place of hope, light and purpose.

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.
