A Rediscovery of Hope After Unspeakable Loss with Yolanda Martinez, David's Mom

Hope After Child Loss/The Empty Chair Endeavor

Every 39 minutes of every day, someone in the U.S. dies senselessly at the hands of an intoxicated driver! On January 20, 2015, Yolanda Martinez and her family experienced their worst nightmare when their 14 year old son, David, was killed when their family van was hit by a speeding drunk driver. Although badly injured, their daughter and a niece survived. Listen as "Yolie" and I talk about the trauma of losing her only son that evening, how she and her husband began trying to process the unthinkable, and navigating their grief journey. Yolie's honesty and transparency allow us glimpses into the deep pain and suffering parents experience after the death of a child. I believe you will find encouragement and hope as Yolie shares how GOD continues to heal their deep wounds as He's taking all those shattered pieces of their lives and making something beautiful from them.
