Join us as guests share their stories of heartbreaking loss and how God has shown up on their journeys to heal and restore broken lives. The host, Greg Buffkin, lives with his wife Cathy in South Carolina. Because Cathy and Greg lost their beautiful son Ryan to suicide in 2015, they understand the trauma and pain of losing a child.

Multiple Losses, Unspeakable grief, and Resilient Hope with Betty Ringeisen
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, pastoral counselor, author, and Bible teacher, Betty Ringeisen, talks with me about a grief/healing journey that began 20 years ago after miscarriage. Tragically, what lay ahead was unthinkable ... over the course of a few more years, Betty and her husband would experience the life altering loss of four (4) other children by miscarriage. How can a young mom survive, let alone process, that level of pain and trauma? Can a heart so deeply wounded ever heal? Betty's story is one of resilient faith and endurance in the face of deep loss and brokenness. It's also the story of GOD's love and faithfulness to restore joy, purpose and hope in Betty's life and then surprise her with a long awaited, beautiful gift. This is a message of encouragement and hope!
