After child loss, laughing again or enjoying time with family can bring unexpected guilt and fear that we are leaving our child behind. In this episode, Laura Diehl explores why healing does not mean forgetting, loving less, or removing our child’s place in our heart and family.
With gentle, faith-based encouragement for bereaved parents, Laura shares how deeply missing our child and experiencing joy can exist together. Whether you cannot yet imagine enjoying life or are beginning to smile again, this conversation offers reassurance that God’s grace can help you live while continuing to love and remember your child.
This episode is being sponsored by Richard and Violet Seet, in memory of their son, Samuel.
