S1 | E17 Grief, Grace, and Coming Home to the Church: Matt and Colleen's Story

Matt and Colleen Deryckere share the heartbreaking story of their firstborn son Ryan, whose short life changed everything. From an emergency delivery and time in the NICU at Riley, to planning a funeral no parent imagines, they talk honestly about anger, sorrow, and the slow work of healing. Along the way, they share how Ryan’s baptism, a late–night visit from a priest, and the love of their community opened the door to Colleen’s conversion, renewed faith, and a family mission of remembrance and hope.
