As parents, we hurt when our children hurt. From those first cries during sleepless nights to the more complex struggles of adolescence and beyond, our hearts tend to ache right alongside theirs.

Whether you’re watching your child struggle with bullying at school, battling an eating disorder, or walking through a mental health crisis, their pain can leave you feeling overwhelmed, afraid, or unsure of how to help. When someone you love so deeply is hurting, it’s natural to wish you could take the pain away yourself.

In this episode, I’m having a mom-to-mom conversation about this tender topic: the heartbreak we parents carry for our kids.

My guest knows exactly what it’s like to experience those intense emotions on behalf of our children. Lori Schumaker is a Certified Life and Mental Health Coach, speaker, and author with over 20 years of ministry experience. She is also a mother whose journey of adopting and parenting a daughter with special needs has brought her to a place of trust and surrender to God. I hope her story will encourage you!

In this episode, Lori shares:

  • The vital practice of releasing control to God
  • Why we should prioritize our personal healing
  • How to stay connected with your spouse through the challenges
  • And more!

We hope you enjoy this conversation!
