While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss

177 | Heaven Working Backwards with Austin and Valerie DeArmond

Will we know our children when we get to Heaven?   Is my child an angel now that he or she has died?   Does my child send me signs?  Is it possible to "move forward" in our lives without fearing that we're leaving our children behind?   Is the best really yet to come? 

Austin and Valerie DeArmond enjoyed 366 days of blessing with their son Gabriel until the Lord took him to Heaven due to a sudden and unexpected illness.  Austin is a gifted and articulate theologian, and Valerie is his equal in wisdom and compassion.  In today's continuation of our conversation from last week, we discuss these questions and more.   Lean in and listen ... and I believe you'll find hope and encouragement in our discussion today.
