Hope After Child Loss/The Empty Chair Endeavor
An outreach of The Empty Chair Endeavor designed to support and equip survivors of child loss in rediscovering life, hope, and joy after unspeakable tragedy. Additionally, our mission involves educating the public about the life altering impact the death of a child has upon survivors, both parents and siblings, and equipping them to better support and minister to them. Join us as guests share their stories of heartbreaking loss and how God has shown up on their journeys to restore hope, meaning and purpose. The host, Greg Buffkin, lives with his wife Cathy in South Carolina. Because Cathy and Greg lost their beautiful son Ryan to suicide in 2015, they understand the trauma and pain of losing a child. On a journey that began 9 years ago out of unspeakable trauma and brokenness, GOD has brought them through to a place of restoration, hope and joy with a passion to help fellow survivors on their journeys.
Hope After Child Loss/The Empty Chair Endeavor
A Conversation with Drs. Eric and Marcy Larson, Andy's parents
As they were moving slowly through traffic on the exit ramp for a fun time together as a family at a baseball game, what Eric describes as "an explosion" suddenly, and without warning, left their world shattered. Listen as Eric and Marcy share their story of that life altering day that took the life of their precious 14 year old son Andy. How do we go on living after we lose a child? Does life still have meaning, and do I still have purpose? Marcy and Eric talk about the impact of grief from both a mom's and dad's perspective, which are often very different. Though the death of a child leaves us forever changed, discover how GOD began using Eric and Marcy's loss to help other grieving parents rediscover meaning and purpose. Out of their tragedy, Marcy started a very successful podcast called Always Andy's Mom to encourage these parents and help them find hope through shared stories. Please check out her podcast at:
