    260: I Can’t See Anything Even Remotely Good
    May 14 2024
    After our child leaves this earth, most of us want to take Romans 8:28 out of our Bibles, especially when people throw that verse at us in a way that is supposed to make it all better. ("Remember, God promises to work everything out for good...") Laura has been in that place of suffocating darkness, […] The post 260: I Can’t See Anything Even Remotely Good appeared first on GPS Hope.

    May 7 2024

    257: Do Not Allow the Pressure of Comparing
    Apr 23 2024
    So much horrific pain and darkness comes with child loss. It doesn't matter how young or how old your child was when they left this earth. It doesn't matter if it was sudden or if it was long and drawn out. As pareavors (bereaved parents), we can bristle when others say they know how we […] The post 257: Do Not Allow the Pressure of Comparing appeared first on GPS Hope.

    256: God’s Future Plans for You
    Apr 16 2024

    254: Taking Communion After the Turmoil of Child Loss
    Apr 2 2024
    If I am struggling with anger and confusion and my faith is rocky right now, shouldn't I pass on taking the elements of communion? In today's episode, Laura digs into 1 Corinthians 11, talking about the purpose of communion and what makes us "unworthy". Based on scripture, Laura believes that we are not disqualified.
