Today’s interview is a powerful one. There are not many times when I have no words, and this interview was one that was hard to find the words to say. Our guest today is author, Lora Jones.
Lora Jones’s world shattered on Nov. 23, 2004, the night she survived but lost her husband and two children in a head-on collision. She secretly, desperately wished for death to claim her, too—how could she go on alone?—but a soft, faint voice sang to her in the midst of her deepest pain that night, the voice of God.
In her new book, Song of a Wounded Heart: Regaining Hope and Trust After Personal Tragedy: The Incredible True Life Story of a Woman Who Lost Everything (Morgan James Publishing, June 25, 2019), Jones shares her remarkable journey from death to hope and encourages readers to believe in the goodness of God, despite their circumstances.
We talk about grief, the will to continue when you world is taken from you, when you doubt your purpose and how to sit with those in grief.
I loved talking with Lora, the way she even soothed my soul as I personally am experiencing grief in my life.
If you have ever lost someone you loved or wondered why awful things happen, or if you are in a time of grief and confusion I know this interview will encourage you. Lora lost everything and yet she found the strength to take the next step every single day.
