In today’s episode, Emily Matuza shares her heart about the deep losses of several family members and how the Lord has faithfully held her in her grief journey. She experienced the devastation that su***de brings in the loss of her precious son, Joey. In a short period of time, she also lost her brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and recently, her mother went to Heaven after suffering with Alzheimer's. Through all of the grief, Emily has seen the hand of God working in her life, and felt His sustaining love surrounding her. Emily also offers her thoughts directly to bereaved parents and shares truths learned from her own journey. Her words will encourage you!

Are you familiar with the biblical concept of lament? It's something that we all should know how to do and can be life-changing. Mark Vroegop says that lament is a "prayer in pain that leads to trust." The Psalms are full of lament, and so, so, helpful to all of us as we navigate suffering.

We hope you join us this evening for a special webinar that will help you learn how to lament.

ONLINE BOOK STUDIES

One of our favorite things to do is spend time with other parents studying books and the Word. Several studies each year are offered and are led by parents from the OHAH team. In 2024, we have ten studies planned including:
"Lessons from a Broken Heart: Trusting God Amid Suffering", "Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy," "A Grief Observed," "Suffering is Never for Nothing," "Holding On To Hope," "Seasons of Sorrow," "Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow," "A Grace Disguised," and we are waiting to confirm the details for three more studies. These are a perfect opportunity for bereaved parents to dig deeper into learning to trust the Lord through the darkest days of their lives.

GRIEFSHARE

GriefShare continues to be a wonderful experience for so many parents each semester. We offer it for thirteen weeks in the fall and winter/spring. The program is excellent for all types of loss but there is something very special when we use the curriculum and examine each topic in light of child loss. The time together with other bereaved parents, talking through each section, is always encouraging and helpful.
