Amy has had the privilege of sharing her story and message of faith, grief, and hope on a variety of podcasts. Explore the episodes below to hear more of her heart and encouragement through Christ-centered conversations.
The Parable Podcast: “When you have a friend or loved one walking through grief it is hard for me to know exactly what to say and how to love them well. Today, Amy Sylvestre joins us to discuss walking and wrestling with our good God in every season of life, through our joys and through deep despair, grief, and disappointment. She encourages vulnerability even when our faith is shaky. Amy and her husband lost their second son husband just months after he was born. During that time she battled hard emotions with God while reckoning the loss of her child. But, even though there was pain, Amy was given a bigger purpose. Plus, she shares with us a few practical tips on loving those who are grieving. I hope you are encouraged because of Amy’s story and hear how she is living wholeheartedly.”
Nothing is Wasted Podcast: “As a mother, Amy Sylvestre wears a lot of hats. She’s both a biological mom and an adoptive mom. She’s a heart mom, and tragically, a mother of child loss. Walking through the pain of losing your infant child is one of the worst nightmares for any parent can face, and that became Amy’s reality when her son Hudson was born with a severe heart defect. Despite countless attempts by some of the best medical professionals in the country, Hudson lived just 8 months. Through unimaginable pain, Amy has learned what it means to have a faith that goes beyond your head and into the deepest parts of your being. Amy sits down with Aubrey to share her story of loss and some of the ministry that has come out of it.”
Hope After Child Loss/Empty Chair Endeavor: “Transparent and, at times, raw, Amy is candidly honest about the impact of this journey, which sadly ended with Hudson losing that long battle for life, on her mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. Listen as Amy shares how she found hope in her relationship with JESUS, and through the love and support of caring friends and family. Amy is now a gifted author, coach, and speaker who dedicates her life to helping others rediscover meaning, purpose and hope on their grief journey.“
