Replay: How Do You Find a Way Forward When Loss Unravels Your World?

If you or someone you care about has experienced a devastating loss, you may be wondering how anyone could survive such debilitating grief. How do you find a way forward through that kind of darkness? Living in the light again probably seems impossible.

 

That’s what Kyle and Betty Mertens thought when they lost their one-year-old daughter, Ella, to an undiagnosed heart defect. In this replay, Rebecca will talk with this resilient couple about their personal grief journey as well as their work to help others transform heartbreak into healing. Kyle and Betty do much of this healing work through their books and their nonprofit, Ella’s Umbrella.
