Join Chris and Christy on this heartfelt episode of the Lighthouse Podcast as they have a poignant conversation with Chris and Amanda Decicco. They have three children, Zach (11), Ava (7) and their son Jayden who was promoted to Heaven in April of 2015.
From the moment Jayden was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, Chris and Amanda faced the unimaginable challenge of coping with their son’s limited time. They discuss the initial shock of receiving the prognosis & how they began to process the overwhelming emotions that came with it.
Amanda opens up about her spiritual journey, finding solace and guidance in her faith. Surrendering to God's will, she learned to let go of control and trust the process. Her Christian journey inspired her to become a listening voice for families in similar situations. She wrote "The Hero Within," a book that shares their inspiring journey and offers hope to others facing adversity.
In their conversation, Chris and Amanda emphasize the importance of surrendering to God, letting go of control, and trusting in His plan. They discuss how they keep Jayden's presence alive within their family, talking about him and celebrating his birthday as a cherished part of their lives. They actively participate in charity events and give back to families enduring similar journeys.
Discover the power of faith, resilience, and giving back as they offer invaluable insights and support to families navigating similar paths.
