A Story of Grace, Hope & Support for Grieving Parents with Candy McVicar

Send us Fan Mail

After the stillbirth of her daughter Grace, Candy McVicar entered a grief journey that would eventually become a lifeline for other hurting families. Candy shares how The Five Love Languages helped her marriage survive loss, the God-prompt that led her to coauthor The Five Love Languages for Grieving Parents with Dr. Gary Chapman, and how Missing Grace Foundation now supports families through miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, infertility, and adoption grief. We also talk about hearing God, protecting what He’s growing, trusting His timing, and obeying when the next step doesn’t make sense.
