Who Do You Turn To When You Lose Someone You Love?

Grief is a five-letter word but it has the power to break your heart into pieces. There’s no denying death is a fact of life, no one is immune to it. The most important thing about death is being certain your loved ones have accepted the salvation of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

One of the most difficult times in my life was when we lost our first grandchild Tyler to SIDS at Four and a month old. I would love for you to read his story of the heartbreaking time I was mad at God. I hate admitting that I was angry at God but I always choose vulnerability and honesty in my writing.
