Episode 49: Finding Hope after Pregnancy and Infant Loss with Julie Reuschel

Music for The Soul Podcast

What would you do if you heard your doctor tell your your child was "incompatable with life"? That is exactly what our guest on today's episode heard when she was expecting her first child, Faith. Julie Reuschel and her husband Chris walked through the tragedy of losing two children, both due to rare genetic disorders that called them home to Heaven far too early. Julie speaks today about what it was like to walk that painful road and how it led her to create the non-profit, Faith45, to help other mothers and families walking through the loss of a child. Julie also talks about what helped her through the days, weeks and months after losing her children and what she did to keep moving forward. She is deeply familiar with just how painful child loss can be, but wants our listeners to know that there is so much God has in store for both us and our children that He has called home. Who is Julie Reuschel?

Julie is a business controller and does all the accounting and bookwork for a women’s boutique in downtown Holland, Michigan. She graduated with a degree in accounting. Julie's desire is to help other couples and families going through those days and weeks following the loss of a child. Together with her husband, Chris, the couple runs, Faith45, which provides Faith Boxes for families filled with items that helped them through their grief and provides a mentoring program. Julie believes God has called us to walk this road and to be His hands and feet to others walking it as well.
