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.

While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss
8 | A Story of a Life Redeemed with Scott and Karen Harmening
Sarah Harmening was a shy, quiet, 17-year-old girl with a maturity beyond her years. She had a strong faith in God and felt called by him to serve on a short-term mission trip to Botswana. On the way to the airport, her life was taken in a tragic bus crash. In this episode, Jill talks with her parents, Scott and Karen, about the events of that day, what Sarah had been journaling as she rode the bus, dealing with the publicity surrounding the incident, and what they've learned about God, grief, hope, and joy since that time.
