Growing Together Through Grief with Kerry and Chris Shook | Ep. 538

Statistically, odds are not good for a couple processing grief together. Today Kerry and Chris Shook join Dr. Kim on the podcast. In this powerfully encouraging episode, they share how they handled a painful season of grief losing their grandson, Jude, who lived just one day on earth, and how they were shaped, along with their family, through the loss. Kerry and Chris are pastors and co-authors of The Gift of One Day: How to Find Hope When Life Gets Hard.

Episode highlights include: 

• Does grief change us, and what does that look like? 

• Seeing God at work when he doesn't seem to answer our biggest prayers

• How to handle grief when you grieve differently than your spouse does  

• How thinking about "one day" shapes the grief process

 

We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
