    How to Choose Hope after Sudden Loss | Michele Cramp (Part 2)

    Grief isn't a straight line, and navigating life after losing your family requires a daily, intentional choice to survive. This week, we continue with the second half of our conversation with Michele Cramp. If you or someone you love is currently navigating a season of sudden loss, heartbreak, or overwhelming grief, Michele’s journey offers insight for finding light in the darkest valleys. "I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord." ~Psalms 40:1-3   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Productive Lives: See how our community partners stand with families in crisis and learn more about our local initiatives.
