Episode 448 - Living Well While Waiting as Bereaved Parents with Brad & Jill Sullivan
How do you find hope after the unimaginable loss of a child? And what does it look like to walk through grief with people who truly understand your pain?
After losing their 17-year-old daughter, Hannah, to brain cancer, Brad and Jill Sullivan discovered the life-changing power of being surrounded by others who had experienced a similar loss. That journey led them to found While We're Waiting, a ministry that provides retreats, support groups, and Christ-centered community for bereaved parents. Today, they help grieving families find hope by meeting them where they are and reminding them they don't have to walk through loss alone.
In this episode, Davey sits down with Brad and Jill to talk about how While We're Waiting was born from their own grief journey, why faith, lament, and authentic community are essential parts of healing, and how God restores hope and purpose even after the deepest loss.
If you've ever wondered whether healing is possible after profound loss or longed for a community that understands your grief, this episode is for you.
“If you have breath, you have purpose. I want to live well. I don't want to waste my experience. I wanna I wanna live in purpose to do what God wants me to do going forward.”
