What would you do if you lost your child in an instant?
In this deeply moving episode of the Like a Diamond Podcast, Becky Baudrero shares the heartbreaking story of losing her 10-year-old son, Dominic, after a tragic bicycle accident. She takes us through the unimaginable moments in the emergency room, the overwhelming grief that followed, and the unexpected ways she found hope in the darkest season of her life.
Rather than asking God to take away her pain, Becky prayed for something different:
“I don’t want You to heal me. I just want You to hold me.”
That simple prayer became the turning point in her healing journey.
In this conversation, we discuss: what it's like to lose a child unexpectedly; processing trauma and PTSD after tragedy; finding hope when miracles don't look the way we expect; signs, tender mercies, and moments that brought peace; forgiving the driver involved in the accident; helping children and spouses navigate grief together; and how faith can sustain us when life no longer makes sense.
Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, walking through unimaginable hardship, or searching for hope, Becky's story is a powerful reminder that we are never truly alone.
