Her book, McLaughlin says, is about “losses in life and God being there to comfort and sustain us. Sending people to comfort and minister to us through great sorrow.”
An excerpt from “A Mother’s Right to Cry”:
“Soon, James was again without a job. He assured me this was temporary. I knew James was deeply troubled, and I began praying as I never had before. Although I had no idea at the time, God was preparing me for upcoming sorrows.
During our Wednesday night services, my pastor preached a series of sermons titled ‘God’s Grace Is Sufficient.’ The message was that God’s grace encompasses all situations. Those sermons seemed like a pipeline between the pastor and me. I absorbed every word.”
“No matter what has happened God doesn’t leave us to go through this by ourselves,” McLaughlin says. “He places people in our lives along the way to help carry the load and pray for us.”
