After the death of a child, many bereaved parents find themselves asking a question they never expected: Who am I now? In this episode, Laura shares a powerful excerpt from her Rebuilding Your Life with Hope and Healing workshop, exploring how child loss can affect our identity in ways we don’t always recognize. With compassion and biblical truth, she reminds pareavors that while grief changes us, it does not define who we are.
Laura also shares why so many grieving parents have responded by saying rebuilding their lives feels impossible, and why there is hope for discovering who you are again. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself along with your child, this episode will encourage you that you’re not alone, there’s nothing wrong with you, and God is gently walking with you every step of the way.
