Hidden Miracles: Life After the Sandy Hook Tragedy

We think of miracles as large and grand – and they can be – but there are miracles all around us that we take for granted, including spiritual miracles and finding happiness amid hurt and pain.

I lost a child over a year ago. I still feel shattered and miss my little girl every day! I too felt heartbroken that I had not felt some intuition that would have allowed me to protect her and prevent her loss! I listened to a talk by John Lennox (Catholic) who said: “If you could see what happened immediately after the loss of children, you would stop doubting and fall down on your knees and worship”. I know this is true. God and Jesus Christ are there to welcome our little ones home! That brings me comfort.

"A miracle is not a life without pain. A miracle is learning to deal with the pain and finding the happiness with the pain" Love this <3

As a born again Christian I know I will get to put my arms around my baby that’s with The Lord. I know that our pain and sufferings are miracles in the making.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever...

The part where she said that she saw a vision of Emily and the other kids being hugged by Jesus Christ truly touched me. She may not be on earth anymore, but she and the other kids are in a better place.

40 years ago, while standing over my son's still open grave, I too heard a divine whisper. 14 years later, in a similar single whispered sentence, I received the message that brought me to complete acceptance of my child's death. May God bless and grant all other grief stricken and bereaved parents the same comfort to help heal their broken hearts, minds and souls, sooner, rather than later.

I've never had a child die, but I lost my sweet husband of 20 years. I know that I'll see him again. God is merciful.

These videos are so great and so inspiring I might have to sit here for hours just watching them. God Bless The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for making these videos. Peter

It changes everything, doesn't it? To know that when our precious ones die, they go home.
Home to a heavenly family where they are loved and taken care of perfectly.

God bless you and I know you will have your daughter Emilie again. What a wonderful artist she was!

I have lost three children and I know the pain you are feeling. I also know that God has helped me through the pain and to find meaning, even joy in suffering. I know someday I shall see my children again, and that all that was lost will be restored.

Thank you for sharing your story and your faith in Christ and Heavenly Father, and thank you to the Church for publishing this so that the cruel criticisms of Sandy Hook being a hoax can be put away.

Sister Fryer ❤️🌹😇

Seriously, who downvotes a video like this? This is beautiful. We need so much more of messages like this. I don't understand why people would oppose a message of healing, especially in light of so many tragedies in the world.

I cried when she said that during her prayer she felt content and saw the picture of the little kids being with our Lord and Savior cause that is just so beautiful😭✨✨

That day was seared into my heart, I sat at my desk at work bawling wondering how anyone in that moment could work, I couldn’t even breathe or move, I felt so much sorrow. I wept and prayed for you and your children, as well as my own. I pray for your joy and peace and glad to see your family love still blooming.

Emilie Alice Parker, you will never be forgotten. Thank you to the Parkers, for sharing Emilie's story, for sharing your faith and for doing the work you do with Emilie's fund and Safe and Sound schools.

I’m sobbing 😭 What beautiful testimonies ❤️ I’m so thankful for a Father in Heaven who loves us so much He sent His Son to die for us, so we may have the chance to receive Eternal Life. I feel so blessed ❤️

I almost didn't watch this video, thinking it'd be too much for me to handle.

I'm glad I did. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family.

From one parent to another, thank you for sharing the divine within the unfathomable.

"God is not in the event. He is in the response to the event" this quote has comforted me many times in my life.

[Jackrabbitsteaparty]

"where was your God today?" I find these questions interesting from others cause I can feel where he is and know it and it saddens me that others don't want to feel what I feel.

This story reminds me of a statue that stands in the church member’s section of Vienna City Cemetery. It has Christ with a little girl and her parents just getting there to greet them. It seems to say, “She was safe with me the whole time.” What a powerful testimony you both shared, I hope to be that good of a mother to bear that witness dispute suffering.
