Facing Grief in Infertility and Miscarriage with Rich & Melissa Short (Part 1)
Having hope in God’s plans for our lives can fuel us in such beautiful ways. And yet, sometimes without reason, we come face to face with a “not-yet” - or sometimes worse, a “no” for the things our hearts long for most. Join me in this conversation with my friends Rich and Melissa who met in college, married, and became missionaries soon after.
As their ministry developed, so did their desire to start a family. After one beautiful healthy son came a series of complications, losses, confusion, and blocked paths. Listen to discover what questions they asked and what hard and beautiful truths they discovered about themselves, God, and each other throughout this season. Join us next week as they continue sharing how this journey unfolded.
