Content warning: This episode contains discussion of child loss and grief.

After a medical crisis that began just minutes after her son’s birth, Susan and her husband faced months of uncertainty that would ultimately lead to profound loss.

In this episode, we move beyond the hospital room and into the long and often unseen road of grief.

Susan reflects on what it meant to return home and continue living while carrying heartbreak. She shares how she grieved not only her son, but the future she once imagined, and what it looked like to hold both sorrow and hope at the same time.

We talk about how suffering reshaped her faith in steady, daily ways. Not through dramatic declarations, but through quiet dependence on God in ordinary moments. She speaks about discovering that grace is not something you prepare for in advance. It meets you in the exact moment you need it.

Susan also offers thoughtful perspective on supporting grieving families, speaking openly about children who have passed, and the strength she and her husband found in one another during their hardest season.

This conversation closes with a deeper understanding of what it means to trust God through both heartbreak and hope, and how even the smallest heart can leave a lasting mark.
