Hope After Child & Sibling Loss/the empty chair endeavor
An outreach of The Empty Chair Endeavor designed to support and equip grieving parents and siblings in rediscovering hope, purpose, 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 other grieving families on their journeys.
DISCLAIMER: The views, opinions, and beliefs expressed by our guests are not necessarily shared by this podcast or its host. We believe there is only one GOD: the Father, His son Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit (the Trinity). We also believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, inerrant, eternal word of GOD which is our source of all truth.
Hope After Child & Sibling Loss/the empty chair endeavor
Invisible Loss, with Cheryl Davis
On this episode, Cheryl Davis, host of the Time for Mom podcast, shares her story of loss as a young mom whose heart was neither equipped nor prepared to deal with the grief of child loss. Cheryl’s is a story that represents over a million others just like hers every year in the U.S. suffering the death of a child by miscarriage. All too often, we have a tendency to rank or compare grief based on our own subjective views or experiences. This is especially true in loss due to miscarriage or stillbirth, and can result in too many of these women trying to process and navigate their grief in silence because so few us understand just how real their grief really is. You’ll be encouraged as Cheryl talks about the personal impact of grief and how GOD’s faithfulness and grace began healing and restoring all that was broken. Cheryl has a heart for helping busy moms drowning in daily responsibilities with marriage, family and work, rediscover meaning, purpose and peace in the middle of it all. Most importantly, Cheryl wants to help you see yourself as GOD sees you by offering personal experiences and Biblical encouragement relating to your identity, routines and priorities on her weekly podcast, Time for Mom, which can be accessed using the link.
