While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss Bonus 185 | Making Preparations
It's a very surreal thing to write an obituary for your own child. It's even more surreal when your child is sitting beside you as you write it.
After Hannah's doctor confirmed that there was nothing else medically that could be done for her and that unless God intervened in a miraculous way she would be going to Heaven soon, I decided to begin making preparations for her funeral. If you know me you know I'm a planner by nature, so this was not unusual although the situation certainly was. I was afraid that once Hannah left for Heaven I would be too distraught to think clearly enough to plan something so important.
Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family’s experiences as our teenage daughter Hannah battled glioblastoma brain cancer from February 2008 through February 2009. My desire is to process through the events of those twelve months with the perspective that 16 years has brought … and point listeners to hope in Jesus along the way.
