In this special episode, Christy and Tracey talk about being a community of woman who grieve together. They focus on the death of Jackson Brave Bauman. Christy wrote a book after her son Brave's death called A Brave Lament and this conversation follows part of that journey for herself and her friends. A film of Brave Lament can be found on her website.
A Brave Lament encourages the scandalous invitation into the belly of grief. Pain matters and is the doorway to knowing God more fully. With heart-wrenching grief accessible through poetic writings, hope is found in the most unlikely place, in the pain itself. This book undertakes the enormous task of stepping into our own heartache with the tragic loss of our son, Jackson Brave Bauman while inviting the reader into their own story of sorrow for the sake of collectively healing our wounds. The following pages have sustained us; these words have been bread and water to our soul may they be the same to you. -Andrew & Christy
