241: The Prince of Peace Within the Pain of Child Loss

Peace can be hard to come by after the death of our child, and the Christmas season can make it even more difficult to find the peace we so desperately need. In this episode, Laura starts with a recording of the live reading from the book “Hope for the Future: An Advent Journey for Bereaved Parents” (Week 2 Day One) on the topic of peace within the Christmas season. Since the podcast episodes are released on Tuesdays, she then reads Tuesdays entry from the book, sharing more about Jesus being our Prince of Peace.
