After her adopted daughter died in a car accident, her mom discovered over 200 letters that she had written to God between the age of 14 & 18. To help herself grieve, the mom reads each letter - one at a time - and writes a letter back to her daughter, telling her all the things she would have said if she had known that she wouldn’t have another chance. The subject matter is intense and hard, but the conversations are authentic and raw - exposing the challenges & giving insights into both growing up and of parenting. In addition, because adoption produced feelings of abandonment and loss for this child, there was trauma that led to many additional challenges for both daughter and mom. We strongly suggest that you listen to this podcast with your teen and relish the conversations that you can have together, while you are both still living.
