Josh Harris with an insightful quote from Nancy Guthrie’s book Holding On to Hope: A Pathway through Suffering to the Heart of God
In [the book] she recounts losing her baby to a rare genetic disorder: “The day after we buried Hope, my husband said to me, ‘You know, I think we expected our faith to make this hurt less, but it doesn’t. Our faith gave us an incredible amount of strength and encouragement while we had Hope, and we are comforted by the knowledge that she is in heaven. Our faith keeps us from being swallowed by despair. But I don’t think it makes our loss hurt any less.'”
