Trisomy 13 & The Goodness of God: Walking Through Infant Loss with Hope

If you are watching this after receiving a Trisomy 13 or life-limiting diagnosis for your sweet baby, I first want you to know that you are not alone, and I'm so sorry for the pain you're walking through. When we were given Kaleb’s diagnosis, our world felt like it got turned upside down. But the Lord walked beside us through every single moment, carrying us through the deepest grief and sorrow. We experienced His goodness even when the outcome wasn't what we prayed for. In this video, I’m sharing Kaleb’s story in hopes that it will offer encouragement and hope for those who are hurting. Whether you are currently walking through a hard prenatal diagnosis, navigating medical complexity, or grieving the loss of your child, I pray Kaleb's story points you to the One who gives peace that passes all understanding. 📖 Read more hope-filled writing on Substack: https://hopefilledletters.substack.co...
