For grieving parents, heaven is no longer just something we believe in—it becomes deeply personal. When your child is there, heaven feels closer in a way you never expected, yet the pain of missing them here remains just as real. In this episode, Laura gently shares five heartfelt truths about heaven that can bring comfort, even in the middle of deep sorrow.

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about where your child is, longed more to see them than anything else, or wondered how to hold onto hope while living with their absence, this conversation will meet you right where you are. As we shift our focus from where our children are not to where they are, we begin to see that while our pain is deep, the glory they are experiencing is beyond comparison—and that can bring a quiet sense of peace to our hearts.
