Our guest shares what it has been like to carry grief and faith across generations: first as a mother navigating her own losses, and now as a grandmother supporting her daughter through medical diagnosis she never saw coming. We talk honestly about the shock of early delivery, the ache of leaving a tiny baby in the NICU, and the confusing mix of joy and grief that can exist at the same time. This conversation doesn’t offer easy answers or spiritual clichés. Instead, it explores how God’s presence often shows up quietly—in Scripture that anchors us, in prayers we barely have words for. Drawing from Psalm 139, we reflect on what it means to trust that every child is fearfully and wonderfully made, even when the story feels unbearably fragile. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of medical trauma, infertility, or watching someone you love suffer, this episode is an invitation to consider that He may be closer than you think. He Grieves with us!","meta_description":"In this episode, we sit with a story shaped by unexpected turns —years of infertility, an autism diagnosis, traumatic and rapid labors, and a daughter who…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4300,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/grieving-with-god-7049287/episodes/krisila-foster-when-motherhood-doesn-t-go-as-planned-autism-infertility-and-watching-your-child-suffer/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/grieving-with-god-7049287/krisila-foster-when-motherhood-doesn-t-go-as-planned-autism-infertility-and-watching-your-child-suffer.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
