In her new book, Hope In The Heartache, Kelly Speck shares how she navigates the challenges of being the matriarch of a five-person family, while also caring for her special needs child who requires round-the-clock care. In this episode learn how how one family not only survived, but thrived, driven by determination and the never-wavering power of faith. About Hope In The Heartache“He was born blue; he was barely alive. All the air had been sucked from the room.”
Kelly Speck had planned for her newborn son, Bennett, to be placed on her bare chest for his first attempt at breastfeeding. Instead, he was whisked away to the NICU. It was, as Speck writes, “the kickoff of a nightmare journey.”
The doctors said the end was near for Bennett. Was there any hope?
Hope in the Heartache, Kelly Speck’s true-to-life and immaculately detailed memoir, tells of Bennett’s fight to survive and his family’s journey through grief and exhaustion in hospitals, churches, and insurance offices. The Specks never lost faith, and in their devotion to God and family, they learned what matters most: hope.
