287: Digging Ourselves Out of the Darkness After Child Loss

When our child dies, we are thrown into a suffocating darkness that we can believe will be with us for the rest of our time here on earth. Join Laura today as she shares how we can rebuild our lives by comparing it to rebuilding a house, room by room. It won’t look the same, but we can come out of the darkness and learn how to live a life of meaning and purpose again.
