My guest on the podcast this week is Jessica Kelley. Jess is a dear friend of mine who share with us her story of loss.\u00a0 When her son, Henry was five years old, he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Within the year, he passed away. Jess share with us that her primary practice of shalom, seeking wholeness where there is brokenness in to share a picture of God in the midst of our suffering that\u2019s altogether lovely, beautiful, and good. Jess and I laugh, we\u2019re vulnerable about our own losses and we cry. It\u2019s just like if we were sitting on my couch talking about being Mamas in a broken world and I really hope you take a listen.<\/p>\n
