"There are some moments when I would say I haven't coped, times when the grief feels so fresh and raw and heavy that it seems impossible to carry. This is when my faith carries me, for without it I'd be lost." -Radio host Delilah

In 2017, Delilah lost her 18-year-old son Zack to suicide. His death, she said during a recent appearance on "The Dr. Oz Show," sent her into "a rage." And just a handful of years earlier, in 2012, her 16-year-old son Sammy died due to complications from sickle cell anemia.

Speaking to Faithwire over email, Delilah said it has been her Christian faith that has helped her continue on with life despite facing such heartrending despair.

"There are some moments when I would say I haven't coped, times when the grief feels so fresh and raw and heavy that it seems impossible to carry," she admitted. "This is when my faith carries me, for without it I'd be lost."

Delilah added she "would never say" she is completely healed from the losses she has faced because "the holes left by those whom I love are still there, will always be with me"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
