When our child dies, it can be difficult to reconcile God’s love with the pain He did not prevent. In this episode, Laura reflects on the poem “The Weaving” and the struggle of seeing only tangled threads where we once pictured a future with our child. She gently explores what it means to know God’s love personally while making room for unanswered questions, anger, and the ache of missing the child we still love so deeply.
Through looking at Naomi’s story in the Bible and reflections from Romans 5, Laura shares how God’s care can be present even when we cannot recognize it yet. This conversation offers an invitation to discover closeness with Him in the absence of clarity, without calling our child’s death good or pretending our grief has gone away.
