After the death of our child, fear can quietly move into every corner of our lives. Fear of losing someone else. Fear of moving forward. Fear that if we laugh again, love again, or begin to live again, it somehow means we are leaving our child behind. The torment of those fears can feel overwhelming, especially when grief has already taken so much from us.
In this deeply personal episode, Laura shares from her own journey after the death of her daughter Becca, speaking honestly about the fears grieving parents carry and the faith it takes to keep breathing through them. If your heart feels exhausted from the weight of “what if” and the pain of the unknown, this episode will gently remind you that fear does not get to have the final word.
Today’s episode was sponsored by Shannon McKeon, in honor of her son, Joseph’s birthday.
