Today's guest is Carlo's mom, Lianne Dixon, whom Whitney met at a grief conference in August 2022 at Lianne’s workshop for parents who lost a child with special needs. She speaks from the Netherlands, where her family moved to, from South Africa, for Carlo to have access to better care. He passed away 7 months after they moved, in October 2020, due to unexpected health complications. Lianne shares the evolution of her faith over her grief journey that started before Carlo died, when he was diagnosed at birth with brain trauma and a life of always needing special care. Her search for support has led her to many resources and asking “why did this happen?”
Here are links to some of the resources she mentioned:
