Fullness of Life (Episode 16 - Learning to Grieve with God's Grace by Teresa Olivera)
Description
In this heart-wrenching episode, Teresa Olivera, shares her story of tragic loss and how she learned to grieve with God's grace. This is a personal witness about one woman's journey through both an unexpected and sudden loss of one young son as well as the terrible suffering of losing her older son to a life of addiction. Despite this crushing cross, Teresa continued to cling to her prayer of the rosary and sought strength and hope through the sacraments of the Catholic Church. During a confession, she is encouraged to go and spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and indeed, she begins to receive the extraordinary grace she needed to surrender her suffering heart into the loving arms of the Savior. She now hosts a weekly Grieving Graces Group for mothers who have lost their children and this is brining new joy and hope to both her heart and the other mothers who have joined. Teresa's story will inspire you to continue trusting in God, no matter what suffering comes your way.
