Finding Joy In Unimaginable Grief | Sadie Robertson Huff | Lauren Johnson

5/13/202657 min

Lauren Johnson has always known she wanted to be a mom — so much so that even nursing school became part of her preparation. When she and her husband found out they were expecting, she felt ready. She knew the checklists, the rhythms, the “what to expect.” She even launched Choose Joy Nursing to walk other moms through pregnancy and postpartum. But nothing could have prepared her for what came next: a rare genetic disorder that led to the loss of their daughter, Lily Ann. In this conversation, Lauren shares with Sadie what it looks like to hold onto joy in the middle of devastating grief — and how she and her husband have reoriented their lives around eternity. Because heaven is better than our very best day here and that’s where Lily Ann is. This one will stay with you — in your heart, your faith, and the way you show up for the people you love.
