Michelle Hord: A Mother's Worst Nightmar...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Michelle Hord had a thriving professional life, collecting achievement after achievement as the Vice President of Creative Content and Talent Management for NBCUniversal. But all that came crashing down when her ex-husband murdered her seven-year-old daughter, Gabrielle. In the dark aftermath of such immense loss, Michelle was faced with questions around faith, identity, and the question we ask ourselves in times of grief: what comes next? In this emotional episode, Michelle shares how she laid out her roadmap for healing in her bestselling book, "The Other Side of Yet” - and how she moved through sorrow, through anger, numbness, even hope, and eventually arrived at a place where life could continue. Not the same life. Not without pain. But a life on the other side of yet.
