251: Can Life Ever be Good Again?

When we lose a child from this earth, we want to be done here and go be with them. Even if our head knows we have reasons to stay, our heart struggles to accept it. The pain and darkness can be all-consuming, and we cannot believe life will ever be worth living without our child. Podcast host, Laura Diehl, knows what that is like. In this episode, she will share some specific ways to help other parents, who find themselves on this same unwanted journey of child loss, change their perspective that life will never be good again. Your life can have meaning and purpose again, and this is not in spite of your child’s death, but because of his or her life.
