Chris Wilson: A Father's Grief

from Holding the Light: Sharing Hope After Child Loss · host Monica and Colby Charette

This episode is dedicated to the fathers who grieve quietly but love loudly. We’re asking what it means to lose a child from a father’s perspective. Chris Wilson is here to bravely share with us the heartbreak of losing his oldest son Andrew in a tragic workplace accident. He shares how he didn't know what to do with his grief, and four years later, his biggest fear is that his son will be forgotten. This father's love is evident, as is his resiliency to keep going in a world without his son in it.  We’re exploring the journey of a father’s heart. Referenced in this episode is The Compassionate Friends Support Group of Lewiston/Auburn meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month, 6pm, currently at the East Auburn Baptist Church. For information Email: [email protected].
