253: The Hope of Resurrection Power

Easter Sunday can come with many different emotions for those of us who have lost a child. On one hand, we are thankful and want to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, who made it possible for us to be reunited with our children, never to be separated again. On the other hand, many of us struggle with going to a church service for this purpose, for various reasons which can be absolutely valid. In today’s episode, Laura talks about all of this, along with reminding us of the hope we all have within us. God’s resurrection power isn’t just for when we die, but for those of us who are still here, learning how to live with a part of us missing.   Links Mentioned in this episode: Click here to listen to Laura and Pastor Lynn Breeden talk about why you don’t need to be tormented with the fear that your child might not be in heaven.
