While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss
This is a podcast FOR bereaved parents BY bereaved parents. Join your host, Jill Sullivan, as she talks with parents who have lost children of all ages to all types of circumstances. This is a podcast of stories ... stories of devastating loss and grief and heartbreak and struggle ... and stories of hope and healing and faith, and yes, even joy. Underlying every conversation will be the hope we have in Jesus Christ, which makes it possible to not just survive the loss of a child, but to live well while we're waiting to see them again in Heaven one day. Visit our website at www.WhileWereWaiting.org for more information about our nonprofit ministry to bereaved parents.

A Building Storm. Dear friend. You share your thoughts with such bravery. So often I am moved by your bravery, with Hannah. And while I listen I also am moved that while brave, we already know it is not going to go well. No happy ending. And yet Hannah I think would say she is happier and healthier than she has ever been. And with God's help, you/He turned this sorrow into something greater than you would have ever imagined. For God's way of making beauty from ashes, I am thankful. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory. https://www.bible.com › IS...
