While no one can claim that one person's tragedy is worse than another's, most of us would agree that the pain of losing a child is unimaginable and the deepest fear of any parent. Coping with that loss is hard enough. But to channel such profound grief into positive action requires extraordinary courage, patience, and love. Those are virtues that today's guest, Granger Smith, embodies perfectly. Granger is a legendary country music artist and author of Like a River: Finding the Faith and Strength to Move Forward After Lose and Heartache, a tribute to his late son, River Kelly Smith. In today's episode, Granger teaches us that pain can be the catalyst for unity and growth - a lesson our world desperately needs now more than ever. He takes us on a journey of hope, love, and strength, even in the face of immense suffering. If you're coping with the loss of a loved one or going through some level of darkness in your life, let this episode be a beacon of hope.
