445: She Lost Her Son… But Refused to Lose Her Faith (A Mother’s Story of Grief, Hope, & Healing) #FanFav

What if the life you loved… the family you built… and the future you imagined suddenly came crashing down all around you?

Whether you’re a mother, a father, someone grieving, someone struggling, or simply someone trying to hold onto faith in a difficult season of life… this episode may be exactly what your heart needs today.

In this deeply emotional and unforgettable conversation, Kevin sits down with Amber Emily Smith for one of the most powerful episodes ever shared on Grit, Grace, & Inspiration.

Originally released in October 2025, this episode quickly became a listener favorite — and for Mother’s Day, we are bringing it back as a special #FanFav Episode.

Amber speaks openly and honestly about...

The dream life she and her husband were building,

Motherhood and raising three beautiful children,

The heartbreaking loss of their son, River,

The unimaginable grief that followed,

And the unexpected miracle that would come next.

But this conversation is about so much more than loss. It’s about what happens when faith becomes more than just something you say you believe. It’s about surviving the moments that should break you. It’s about learning how to keep living when your heart doesn’t know how. And ultimately… it’s about hope.
