Bonus 161 | The Telephone Game

While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss

Do you remember playing the Telephone Game when you were a kid? It was best played with a large group of kids sitting in a circle. The first kid would think of a sentence (the longer the better) and whisper it into the ear of the kid sitting next to him, and so on. By the time it went all the way around the circle, the result was inevitably quite different than the original sentence which started the game.
That's what started to happen in our community and the communities surrounding it as Hannah's illness progressed. We began to hear rumors that the word on the streets was that Hannah's death was "imminent" or that the doctors had given her "two weeks to live." Neither of these things were true, at least as far as we knew, and we felt we needed to address these rumors before they went any further.
Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family’s experiences as our teenage daughter Hannah battled glioblastoma brain cancer from February 2008 through February 2009. My desire is to process through the events of those twelve months with the perspective that 16 years has brought … and point listeners to hope in Jesus along the way.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the show. Click here to send me a message!
