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.
Thank you for this, Laura!!! At 5 months out, I am definitely still all over the map and your words make total sense- of COURSE we are!! Thank you for giving me hope that this agony will not consume me, as I re-direct myself sometimes moment by moment back to the Lord. Travis’s birthday is in a month and I just can’t bear to think about it. He actually shares the day with his dad, my husband, so it’s really going to be challenging. Thank you for your ministry to us all…
Hi Pam, thank you for letting me know it was helpful. That first birthday can be brutal… I am so sorry for what used to be fun is now so painful with your son and husband sharing a birthday. Hugs!
