"Turning Tragedy into Hope" with Dr. Brian Hoeflinger

When a loved one dies tragically, there are questions, so many questions. Brian and Cindy Hoeflinger's oldest son Brian died after drinking and driving. Dr. Brian Hoeflinger talks about how he and his family coped with the tragic loss and how they have tried to turn the tragedy into hope. Dr. Hoeflinger is an Ohio-based neurosurgeon whose passion and profession is saving lives. Instead of asking why his son died, Dr. Hoeflinger asks us to consider instead why he lived. The Hoeflinger family, their work, and contact information can be found at https://www.brianmatters.com.
