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.

The Mayhalls sweet story of their Amelia was relatable to me as our adult married daughter passed away suddenly from a pulmonary embolism.

I was impacted about things that happened and didn't happen at our daughter's funeral and also asked for medical records and the husband refused to release them to me- I am a nurse and was very close to my daughter
