069 Navigating Marriage After Infant Loss - Trisomy 18 With Laura & Andrew Moore

Navigating relationships after the loss of a baby can be incredibly difficult, especially the marriage relationship. Throughout the month of February I have the privilege of talking with couples about marriage after the loss of a baby. The good, the hard, the awkward and even the funny things I am sure you will be able to relate to. Last week in Episode 68, Meg & John-Mark Walker shared their story of loss, the challenges they faced and how they worked through those challenges. In this week’s episode I am talking with Laura and Andrew Moore. They navigated marriage and grief after losing their son Hudson to Trisomy 18. Laura and Andrew are incredibly honest in this interview, sharing openly about their journey. They answer questions hard questions about their spiritual journey during the months after their baby’s diagnosis and the months after his death. They talk candidly about what it looked like to still pursue each other and their relationship in the season of anticipatory grief and also the season after their son died. They talk about feelings of jealousy and feeling like you’re behind when everyone else has a growing family and you no longer do. They give incredibly practical and tangible advice for any couple walking through loss about how to continue to fight for your marriage, even in a season as hard as this one. The wisdom shared here is incredibly helpful and hopeful; I feel certain that Laura & Andrew’s story will bless encourage you today. -- DO YOU FEEL ALONE IN YOUR GRIEF?
