The death of one’s child is a grief like no other. As a bereaved parent, a part of your very being has been cut off from you, and you must figure out how to live with that part of you missing. You will never be the same, but you can have hope that your life can still have meaning and purpose and learn to live in a way that honors the life of your child instead of being stuck in the deep grief of his or her death. The Grieving Parents Sharing Hope podcast is part of the national organization GPS Hope, as a tool to guide grieving parents to a place of hope, light and purpose by discussing many topics that only those who have lost a child can understand. This show is hosted by award-winning author, speaker, singer, grief coach, and (most importantly) bereaved parent, Laura Diehl.
