10 | Sharing my Testimony Part 2- The "Joy" behind the Journey, navigating loss from suicide & overcoming toxic family patterns

Continuing from Part 1 of my testimony, today I am sharing about the loss of another family member to suicide, my brother. As if losing your mom wasn’t hard enough, 20 years later I relived my worst nightmare. It was three days before my wedding day when I received a call from my Dad telling me to come home. To my dismay learning that my brother took his life caused so much pain again, and this time even more vivid as I was now an adult. 

 

Navigating loss around yet another huge moment in your life is something that I would never wish on anyone. But, God. I was shown time and time again that God is truly in all of the details of our lives, no matter how small. The lessons that God has taught me since the passing of my brother have brought so many layers of healing and restoration, I am confident that they will bring hope to any situation you may be currently facing. 

 

I share this part of my story to inspire you to cling to Jesus through the highest of highs and lowest of lows, He is truly our strength through it all! Thank you for listening and I believe that we are now closer after these past two episodes!
