While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss 180 | The Grieving Husband and the Grieving Wife
Have you heard the oft-repeated statistic that 80 to 90% of marriages fail after the loss of a child? Did you know that that is actually a myth?
Today's episode features a webinar that my husband Brad and I recently presented along with our friends, Keith & Shawnda Freer, who are the founders of the GriefHope ministry. In this webinar, we discussed the impact of grief on marriage, including how men and women express grief differently, how we can respect those differences and support our spouses, and the importance of applying biblical principles of marriage when we’re grieving. We also debunk the myth about the high percentage of marriage failure following child loss and identify where that idea came from.
Next week, we’ll be back to our usual interview format, and I hope you’ll come back then to hear a powerful story of God’s provision amid unimaginable loss from my friend Barbara Scorza. For now, I hope you’ll find some help and hope in our discussion about marriage after child loss.
