There are some things that we pray that we will never experience in our lives. Losing a child is one of them. An unimaginable battle that God gives to His strongest warriors, this is something that too many have experienced without the community that they need to move through it. Our guests Caroline and Jeremy Jefferson, having experienced this path themselves, created Parents of an Angel; it is a comforting community for grieving parents. Unfortunately, many marriages don't survive this kind of loss. Listen to their story as they share how this experience impacted their lives, their relationship, and the lives of those in their community.
