How are parents meant to believe that the loss of a child is all part of God’s plan?
Grief is a difficult journey for everyone, but it can feel especially challenging when it’s accompanied by a feeling of losing yourself or your faith. My guest today, Emily Ann Adams, had this exact experience after the passing of one of her twin boys, Aidan.
Faced with three little children under 5 to look after, including Aidan’s brother Alan who was born at 32 weeks, Emily made a courageous decision; to dive deep into her grief to understand it better.
In the process, she helped dozens of other families navigate their own grief through her incredibly moving book: Is There No Other Way?: Exploring Growth Through Grief.
This episode is vulnerable, raw, inspirational and serves as a reminder that our faith is something we can choose every day. Emily’s advice reminds us of the power of connecting with others while respecting that everyone experiences grief differently.
