In this raw and heartfelt episode, Laura Diehl shares what it's like when the death of your child causes your life to come to a complete standstill while the rest of the world just keeps going. She opens up about deeply personal moments from her own grief journey, including the recent reminder of that paralyzing feeling when her father-in-law suddenly passed away and caregiving responsibilities took over her life once again.

Laura gently reminds grieving parents that even though life may feel stuck right now, healing is possible. She shares hope through Scripture, personal experience, and the powerful truth that this too shall pass. With compassion and authenticity, Laura speaks directly to pareavors who feel like they're frozen in time while everything around them keeps moving.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:
  • What it feels like when life stops after child loss
  • Laura's vivid story of sitting at a stoplight, frozen in grief
  • How a sudden family death brought those feelings back years later
  • The difficult season of caregiving and halted plans
  • Encouragement from 2 Corinthians on finding comfort and strength
  • A hopeful reminder: if others have made it through, you can too
  • A heartfelt invitation to be someone others will look to, for hope
