Grief can feel especially complex for Hope Grandparents as they mourn the loss of a precious grandchild while carrying the heartache of their own son or daughter. In this episode, Bonnie Klein (mother of Sarah Hutchinson), Marie Donley (mother of Jennie Parks), and Rene De La Cruz (father of Kristin Hernandez) join the podcast to discuss the unique ways grandparents grieve the loss of a Hope Baby. Bonnie, Marie, and Rene each share their own stories of losing grandchildren and how this deep grief compares to other sorrows they have faced. They share encouragement for other grandparents who have lost a grandchild, as well as for grieving parents who are struggling to relate to their own parents after loss. Whether you are a parent or a grandparent, we pray you are encouraged by this conversation.
