#73 As any parent would attest, the thought that you might outlive your children is a persistent and unimaginable concern. Quite literally, it is every parents nightmare. For Pam Grout, that nightmare became a reality when her only child, Tasman passed away suddenly and unexpectedly due to a brain aneurysm at the age of 25. Pam is an author of 20 books, two screenplays, a live soap opera, a TV series and enough magazine articles that it is difficult to count. However, she will tell you that her greatest accomplishment was being a mother to Tasman. How do you live after such a loss? How do you find any happiness, joy or peace after such heartbreak and suffering? Pam's story is ultimately one of HOPE. As you will hear in the this incredible episode of the Hope Radio Podcast, Pam discusses her loss and her life since. She is candid about having good days and horrible days. She is also, as you will hear, continuing to deal with the grief of her loss and describes it as something she will always carry.
