While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss
This is a podcast FOR bereaved parents BY bereaved parents. Join your host, Jill Sullivan, as she talks with parents who have lost children of all ages to all types of circumstances. This is a podcast of stories ... stories of devastating loss and grief and heartbreak and struggle ... and stories of hope and healing and faith, and yes, even joy. Underlying every conversation will be the hope we have in Jesus Christ, which makes it possible to not just survive the loss of a child, but to live well while we're waiting to see them again in Heaven one day. Visit our website at www.WhileWereWaiting.org for more information about our nonprofit ministry to bereaved parents.

Jill and Brad. Thank you for NOT skipping this message on Christmas! EVERY Wednesday since I have found your podcast has been an encouragement from the Holy Spirit through your episode. I am so grateful for your courage to be obedient to the work of the Lord carved out for you through the journey Hannah has taken to heaven so early. You bring the message of the hope of Jesus. You remind me and others who listen how we are supposed to face the loss of our children. You help teach me to have a connection to other bereaved families whom are able to carry the weight together. So thank you for sharing every Wednesday even on Christmas Day today the hope of heaven as I miss my son Ethan so immensely as you do miss Hannah. Walking in the waiting with you in the grip and grace of Jesus. I agree, I pledge to continue to carry The light of Christ. --Nicole Wang
