We are in a series of Grief and Music. This week, our guest, Yolanda Blade-Rory, shares with us her experience with music and worship after the unexpected death of her seven-year-old young son, Sasha, who died of an unknown heart condition.

The episode ends with listening to one of the songs Yolanda wrote in her place of fighting the suffocating grief.

 

Yolanda Rory is a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist.  She began her employment with The Ohio State University as a Clinical Assistant Professor in 2016. She currently teaches and provides clinical supervision to graduate students in the OSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic. Yolanda is also a singer/songwriter who shares original songs of hope and victory with those who are grieving the loss of a child. She has released 1 album and 2 singles since 2018.
