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.
While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss
Bonus 94 | President ... and Vice President!
I wish I had a "first day of school" picture for the beginning of Hannah's junior year and Bethany's eighth-grade year. But at this point in her cancer treatments, Hannah really did not like having her photograph taken. Her hair was still thin from the radiation rays and she was a little self-conscious about that. I respected her wishes and did not take one. In fact, we have only a handful of photographs of her from that entire year of her battle, and I truly wish we had more.
In Hannah's small high school, class elections were held on the first day of the school year. She came home that day a little bit bummed ... not because she didn't win an election, but because she didn't win two elections! She was voted student council president ... but was just the vice president of her junior class. Other than that minor disappointment, she was very pleased with her schedule, her classes, and her teachers. We really couldn't predict the impact her treatments might have on her day-to-day schedule, but she was ready to tackle whatever lay ahead. School year 2008-2009 was underway!
Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family’s experiences as our teenage daughter Hannah battled glioblastoma brain cancer from February 2008 through February 2009. My desire is to process through the events of those twelve months with the perspective that 16 years has brought … and point listeners to hope in Jesus along the way.
