This Episode: Episode 85 | How to Cope With Losing a Child: Finding Hope Through Grief How can you lose someone you love and still believe that God is good? Five months after a devastating car accident that took the life of her 13-year-old son, Parker, my friend Marla Gale joins me for an extraordinary conversation about faith, grief, and the presence of God in our hardest moments. Marla shares the beautiful life Parker lived, the spiritual impressions her family experienced before the accident, and the remarkable circumstances that helped save her life. She also explains why her grief has been accompanied by unexpected hope, what she believes about life after death, and why she feels more certain than ever that every life has a purpose. This episode is a deeply personal testimony of God's love, even when life doesn't make sense. __________________ Show Notes: 💌 Join my email list: https://mailchi.mp/lizzyjensen/podcast-shownotes-email-capture Course Waitlist: https://lizzyjensen.com/ Follow Marla: https://www.instagram.com/themarlagale/ Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) “...who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross…” ____________________ Topics & Timestamps 00:00 - Why Am I Still Here? 02:04 - Remembering Parker's Beautiful Life 07:13 - Parker's Extraordinary Faith 12:22 - Making a Case for God 13:36 - The Promptings Before Tragedy 20:12 - Parker's Organ Donation Wish 22:16 - Finding God in the Accident 32:00 - Why Didn't God Prevent It? 36:46 - Finding Purpose in Being Alive 46:04 - Grief Without Despair 52:04 - Turning Pain Into Purpose 54:00 - Marla's Continuing Mission ~ About The Lizzy Jensen Show: The Lizzy Jensen show has a simple mission to empower you with the confidence and courage to live your most beautiful and abundant life.
