Welcome to Following The Messiah! This is a place for encouragement, learning, and support as we walk this journey together. My hope is that every member feels welcomed, valued, and inspired. Hi I am JoAnn, my goal is to help parents who have lost a child navigate the grieving process with faith, hope and understanding. In 2019, I lost my only child. Jason.He was 33 years old.Through my own journey, I have learned that while the pain of loss never completely disappears, it is possible to move from deep sadness toward a life that includes joy, purpose, and peace, while continuing to love and honor our children every day. This is a place where you can grieve openly, find encouragement, strengthen your faith, and connect with others who understand what you are going through. You do not have to walk this path alone. Take a moment to introduce yourself, share a little about your goals, and let us know what you hope to gain from being here. We are excited to grow, learn, and support one another. Thank you for being part of this community!
