S5 Episode #20- Kaitlyn Fiedler
THE ONE WITH KAITLYN FIEDLER
Kaitlyn Odom Fiedler lives near Greenville, SC, with her husband and children. She is currently pursuing her MA in counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She actively volunteers with her church in a grief ministry to help kids process and heal after the loss of a loved one. She brings biblical inspiration to women through her blog abeautifulbelonging.com. She is happiest when traveling and adventuring with family and friends.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Kaitlyn Odom Fiedler was eight years old when she woke up alone in a hospital room, the victim of a horrible car accident that claimed the lives of six of her family members as they traveled on their way to vacation at the beach. Left with only one living brother, young Kaitlyn was left with the question, "What now?"
How do you find hope after loss? Twenty years later, Kaitlyn has found her hope and wants to encourage others as they struggle with their own trials.
What Now?: Finding Renewed Life in Christ After Loss brings a refreshing perspective of hope and will help answer the questions of how to move forward, not just move on, when it seems there is nothing left on which to cling. Readers will discover how Kaitlyn moved from questioning to trusting God in times of sorrow, and they will find hope and healing in their own grief journey along the way.
In What Now?, Kaitlyn shares her pain, struggle, and personal wrestling with grief, love, and hope with courageous vulnerability. . . . Kaitlyn writes as if she is introducing us to her family, her home, and her hope. She has found Christ sustaining, patient, and present and introduces Him as one friend introduces another. Her value of children, their emotions, grief, and the need for ways to engage their trauma with or without words reminds us and challenges us to enter in and give space for all.
