This podcast episode of Grief and Belief features David Mickelson and guest co-host Brian Mickelson interviewing LeGrand Laing, a seminary teacher. The core of the discussion revolves around LeGrand's experience of grieving the unexpected death of his eldest son, Brayden, who passed away at 21 in a motorcycle accident.
Throughout the interview, LeGrand emphasizes Brayden's exceptionally positive, unifying, and service-oriented nature, highlighting his profound impact on others. A central theme introduced by LeGrand is the principle of "running to the Savior first," an idea suggesting that focusing on Jesus Christ is the primary path to healing and ultimately reuniting with loved ones, even amidst immense sorrow.
The conversation also explores how LeGrand and his family have found strength through faith, prayer, scripture study, and temple worship in the aftermath of their devastating loss.
