Angela Rodgers
When a child dies, nothing is ever the same again.The world keeps moving, but yours stops. You quickly learn that grief is not something you 'get over.' It changes the way you think, the way you see the world, and even the way you breathe. The child you love is missing from every holiday, every milestone, and every ordinary day, and your heart carries that absence forever.Angela Rodgers understands this journey firsthand. When her son Jacob died, she was not a Christian. She searched for answers but found herself walking through grief without the hope that only Christ can provide. Then, 2,091 days later, on Christmas Day 2017, her son Jarred passed away. Through that devastating loss, Angela and her family were drawn to Jesus Christ, discovering that even in the deepest sorrow, God was still present.After the loss of her boys, Angela shared her personal grief journey in her award-winning memoir, Painfully Broken Yet Beautifully Redeemed. This Devotional is a continuation of that journey-a companion created specifically for grieving parents who are learning to live with loss while holding tightly to their faith.Each day includes Scripture, a Devotional, a reminder for your soul, and a journal prompt designed to help you process grief, strengthen your faith, honor the child you will always love, and keep your faith bigger than your grief.Whether your loss happened recently or many years ago, these pages will meet you where you are-on the good days, the hard days, and all the days in between.You will always love your child.You will always miss your child.And with God, your faith can become bigger than your grief.
