From the grief of being unable to have children, to the joys of adopting and building a picture-perfect life together...
Straight into the depths of losing her husband to brain cancer...
JoBeth Evan's story is a roller coaster, and she tells it - and lives it - with so much grace and peace.
Today's episode is extra impactful because not only does JoBeth have lived experience of deep grief, BUT, she's turned that experience into a way to serve others as a certified grief recovery specialist.
She helps others navigate deep grief in a way that keeps them moving forward and honoring the memory of those who are being grieved. Seeing things from the experiential AND the professional side of things allows JoBeth to offer an incredible testimony to the goodness of God, and how to walk through grief well.
