The Grief Garden
We're going to a garden on Chris Fabry Live. It's a garden of grief. A few months ago, Ron and Nan Deal talked about the concept of the grief garden. They had been through the death of their son Connor a few years ago and this metaphor provided comfort, hope, and protection. You'll hear more about that and a fictional story based on the idea on the next Chris Fabry Live.
