S12 | E01 Keeping Faith to Restore Hope with Lindsey Hannan

Young parents and parents-to-be have so much hope in their growing families. They start to imagine who their babies will become, even from the first positive pregnancy test. But as we all know, not every pregnancy is the same. And some end in tragedy. That was the case for this week’s guest, Lindsey Hannan. And it was the case not only once but twice. A daughter and a son both were born with a rare genetic condition that unfortunately has a 100% mortality rate. And while Lindsey, her husband, and their first daughter certainly grieved and suffered, Lindsey particularly found hope in her faith and in Jesus Christ. As a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Lindsey learned that hope and faith isn’t just about what good comes from life and that you have to let go of the expectations you have. She believes that everything that feels unfair in life is made right by the atonement of Jesus Christ. I can’t imagine the pain and suffering that Lindsey and her family endured, but it’s so hopeful to see how her faith and courage has helped her to be a great mother and community member. About Lindsey Hannan: Lindsey Hannan is a wife and mother to three beautiful children: Emily, Élodie, and Henry.
