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.

While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss

42 | A Story of Living With An Open Palm with Don and Patsy Akin

April 28, 2021 • While We're Waiting • Episode 42

Today's conversation is surprisingly encouraging, even though Don and Patsy Akin have experienced the loss of all three of their sons ... one to murder, one to illness, and one to an accident. Our discussion ranges from issues of Don's alcoholism, to anger, to forgiveness, to the restoration of joy, to learning to live life with an open palm.
