When we first lose our child from this earth, memories bring stabbing pain, because we realize that is all we have now. We can’t make new memories. We feel like we will never be able to enjoy life again, even if we have other children, a wonderful spouse, or job or ministry we loved.

How can we possibly smile, or ever be happy again after our child dies? Just the thought of it can make us feel guilty. In today’s episode, Laura shares something that will help a bereaved parent think of their child with joy.
