All Episodes295: What is Hope?Most people think that hope is wishful thinking, as in, “I hope they win this game.” However, that kind of hope is not what will get us out of the suffocating darkness of grief after the death of our child.
In today’s episode, Laura revisits true hope – the hope that God gives. This is a hope we can rely on in the darkness as He brings us back into the light, to be able to live a life of meaning and purpose once again, until being reunited with our child.

2021-06-0926 minAll Episodes107: God Must Not Love MeWe often equate love with happiness, which make sense. But love also has a side to it that doesn’t give a person whatever they want, just so they won’t have to suffer.
This is really difficult to comprehend or accept, when our child dies, especially if there was suffering involved. If God loved us, why doesn’t He step in and stop the suffering and answer our prayers of protection over our children?
That is what this episode tackles, by looking at an email exchange from a mom with these questions.

Todo empezó en el verano de 2013 cuando Laura quería hacer una barbacoa y fue a comprar la carne a una carnicería que le recomendó su amiga Janet. Allí se encontró con que el vendedor era igual que un compañero suyo de trabajo.
