Summary

Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his inspiring conversation with J.J. and Melanie Jasper about the devastating, unexpected loss of their son, Cooper. If you have experienced the loss of a loved one, you may understand the term “being ambushed by grief.” It is believing you have turned a corner and somehow overcome your terrible loss, when all of a sudden, that grief pounds you to the ground like a tidal wave! Coming from this place of sheer brokenness, J.J. and Melanie plead with listeners that this is exactly the time to run toward the Lord, not back away from Him. Find forgiveness and comfort as only God’s grace can provide.
