Jensen Parrish Hall shares the tragic story of losing her parents and two younger brothers to carbon monoxide poisoning while she and her brother, Ian, were serving missions. She recounts the surreal moment her mission president delivered the news and the immediate, distinct spiritual impression she received to choose trust over bitterness.
Jensen discusses her healing process through her blog, "A New Normal," and the visual sign language for "grief" and "belief". She explains how 2 Nephi 2:2 taught her that God can "consecrate" or dedicate her deepest afflictions for a sacred purpose, transforming pain into spiritual gain.
Finally, Jensen offers a powerful metaphor of the gospel as an "umbrella" that doesn't stop the rain of life’s trials but protects her testimony. Her message emphasizes that by choosing Christ, individuals can find the strength to navigate grief with the hope of eternal family reunions.
