Embracing Seasons of Suffering with Dr. Gary and Laura House | 1094

Suicide. Depression. Loss. Grief seems to be all around us right now. Are you experiencing suffering? Do you know someone who is? You’re not alone. Gary and Laura’s youngest son, Nathan, went to Heaven in 2016 at the age of 25. An incredibly kind, loving, son and brother, Nathan cherished his family and friends. He was an electrical engineer and entrepreneur. Although it wasn’t evident to those around him until after he was gone, he silently and valiantly fought depression for many years but died by suicide. The journey following this tragedy provided the vision for Our Hearts Are Home, a faith-based non-profit organization whose purpose is to minister to grieving families, provide encouragement to those who are suffering, and to educate and equip individuals to reach out to those in need.

Gary and Laura House are parents to three adult children, two of them in ministry here on earth and one who resides in heaven. Through the pain of losing our son, we discovered many truths. Perhaps most importantly, that we can trust the Lord to comfort us and to carry us when we have no strength left to hold on. We also discovered that spending time with other bereaved parents brought solace to our hurting hearts.

Whether you are navigating the loss of someone dear to you or experiencing another kind of suffering that earthly life can bring, we hope that Our Hearts Are Home will be a blessing to you.
