When a Parent Loses a Child…
…we are faced with the reality that we may have many years ahead of us on this earth before we are reunited with that child in Heaven. As we face those seemingly interminable years, we have some choices to make…

- Are we going to allow our grief to make us bitter, or allow God to use that grief to make us better?
- How are we going to live so that our Lord and our child are honored by our lives?
