While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss
320 | A Holy Grief (Part Two) with Angie Ford-Green
Aug 12, 2026
Episode 320
Jill Sullivan
What does a "holy grief" look like twenty-four years after the death of a child?
In this second half of my conversation with Angie Ford-Green, we move from the story of Kevin's death to the wisdom God has cultivated in her through the years that followed.
Building on the theme introduced in Part One of our conversation, Angie shares how God has continued to shape her understanding of a holy grief ... one that doesn't deny the pain of loss but allows Him to use it to deepen our faith, refine our hearts, and bring hope to others.
We also talk about navigating holidays and special days, loving the family members who are still with us while honoring the child who is in Heaven, and the importance of discovering purpose in pain. Angie closes by sharing the heart behind her books, A Mother Like Me and Mothers Like Me, a collection of stories that reminds grieving mothers they are not alone.
This conversation is filled with practical, Christ-centered encouragement for every bereaved parent seeking to walk faithfully through grief.
