Coping With The Memories Of Suffering with Dr. Heidi Horsley and Dr. Gloria Horsley

Posted on May 7, 2019 - by admin

I watched my son suffer from colon cancer. He died 15 months after he was diagnosed. He was my oldest and had just turned 50. He fought so hard, prayers went out all over the US and Europe, but it was not to be no matter what. Its been 6 years now and I am still angry and confused as to why this had to happen to him. Any suggestions? https://media.blubrry.com/open_to_hope_1/www.opentohope.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Coping-With-The-Memories-Of-Suffering-with-Dr.-Heidi-Horsley-and-Dr.-Gloria-Horsley.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download
