As much as grief and loss are part of life, it can be a heavy weight to bear - especially when someone dear is taken from us abruptly. In the midst of indescribable pain, how can parents have room to grieve the loss of their child? How can friends come around them in support in helpful and practical ways?

Join our host, June Yong, who chats with Cameron and Delia Walcott, parents of three children - Caleb, Evan and Anna. Cameron pastors a church and Delia is the principal of a school in Michigan, USA.

Speaking about losing their eldest son, Caleb, in October 2020, Cameron and Delia share about the grieving process, how they learnt to cope with differing ways to grief - both as individuals and parents - and how family and friends loved and supported them through it all.
