That makes it easy to live as if death is someone else's problem.

So long as death remains remote and unreal, Jesus's promises will too. But honesty about death brings hope to life.

In The Valley Between, Jenna shares her journey from the hope of the child she carried through the darkest moments of loss to the other side, where new hope shines brightly again.

And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. (John 16:21-22) Believers often suffer and hurt hurt. But the exhortation of Jesus is that the time will come when we will rejoice because there will have been a birth.
