You might consider this episode part two of the previous episode where I interviewed Melanie Forrest about her sister Sharon's death. In this episode, Deanna Forrest shares with us her thoughts regarding her husband's short illness and subsequent death soon after Sharon's long battle and death.

Every person who has put his/her trust in Jesus Christ as Savior can have confidence and peace in knowing eternity will be spent worshipping the Lord in Heaven.

They are candid about the struggles and the blessings they have experienced through their loss, and they give some very helpful steps for a grieving person and for each of us as we care for someone who is grieving.
