We are joined by Glenda Durano as she shares the powerful and deeply personal story of her daughter, Amberle. Amberle became unexpectedly and critically ill after developing Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. The journey that followed was filled with immense challenges and profound transformation, not just physically, but spiritually as well.

In our conversation, Glenda opens up about what it was like walking through this unexpected crisis as a mother—watching her daughter suffer, confronting uncertainty, and grappling with faith when prayer no longer looked the same. She speaks candidly about how her spiritual understanding shifted and deepened, and how, even in heartbreak, she began to see with what she now calls “sacred sight.” We also talk about her book, Sacred Sight: Finding Hope Through Heartache, where Glenda recounts her family’s difficult journey and how they discovered resilience, hope, and healing in unexpected ways.

God works through the experience of people like Ethel and the Love Life Ministry in an amazing way to share His love and forgiveness with us. “We help men, women, and churches connect to a healing abortion recovery ministry.
