Page 115 of the unfolding is the story of Jan Rosga. My world just stopped. I felt like my life was over.

I couldn't imagine living a contented life without David. I mean, one minute I'm his mom and then poof,

the next, he's gone. God's story has been unfolding.

Since the beginning of time.

He invites you to be a part of it.

Loss is a part of life. Maybe over the last couple of years, you've lost things, a job,

a way of life. You've lost out on experiences that we once took for granted. Or worse,

maybe you lost someone you love. With loss comes grief, and that can be debilitating. When Jan Rosga lost her son, David, it knocked her off her feet. She felt hopeless and empty. She wondered how

she would survive. If you're grieving, Jan's story is a roadmap for

dealing with grief that just might help you. Just a word of caution, this episode includes

references to suicide and synthetic drug use. Married to my husband, Mike, for 33 years,

and we have two sons, David and Daniel.

Typical Midwestern family, we were involved in community events, kids played sports,

all of those, you know, they were in band. We raised our boys in the church, and they attended

youth group and went on mission trips and that kind of thing, played in

the worship band. Daniel was 15 and David was 18. And it was spring of 2010. David was getting

ready to graduate from high school. He had some senioritis going on. He was ready to get out.

He was ready to get out. And we did all the things that

parents do to prepare for that. You know, we were having an open house party and food, yard work,

all that stuff. We were just so proud of David and so excited for the bright future he had ahead
