Testimonial
" Today I was reminded that my son's "born" day is this month. Usually, this is the time I cry and I'm not sure if I'll become depressed. But listening to O Mourning Joy's grief and loss episodes, I'm able to use the tools they've given me to prepare myself for moments like these. I'm so encouraged, and thank you for obeying God. Keep helping those in need.
