Using Your Trials To Help Others | Hope Works

- On a spring day in 2008, Molly’s two-year-old daughter choked on an apple. Four days later, Molly held her daughter for the last time before handing her over for the doctors to harvest her organs. Her liver went to a six-month-old baby girl and her kidneys to a father of four.
People ask Molly how she’s survived. It isn’t easy grieving the loss of a child. Molly’s connection with others saved her life when she lost her daughter. Molly gives three ideas about how to create connections during difficult times:
• Speak the unspeakable to others.
• Use your gifts to be a gift.
• Don’t try to prove yourself-just be yourself.
Pain and grief can be unspeakable. Because Molly had the courage to speak, she felt seen and heard. Pain is a powerful connector. Talking about it allows others to share their pain.
Create connection through your gifts as well. As Elder Neal A. Maxwell said: “Recall the new star that announced the birth at Bethlehem? It was in its precise orbit long before it so shone. We are likewise placed in human orbits to illuminate.” When you share your gifts or talents, you can be in place at the exact moment someone needs you.
What helps you in your grief?

I love when people have the courage to put themselves "out there" and share their deepest feelings. In doing so they help others to bear their burdens.
agreed
So touching! Molly, I thank you. I admire you.Let you and your family be happy!
Her talk is truly inspiring. I wish I could give her a hug.
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story with us, Molly. You have really blessed me today with your jokes and wisdom. Keep being awesome!
SEEING YOUR Strength in GOD IS ENCOURAGING
This was such a joy and heartache to watch. You’ve have taken such adversity and helped others to feel true happiness through connection. Thank you for the laughter and tears❤️
This was just what I needed today; THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your sweet heart, mind, and spirit with the world: Much love to you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ah, ...Molly. My heart goes out to you! I send a virtual hug with a prayer that you will continue to be strengthened and comforted in your loss. God bless you for reaching out to others to bless them and be blessed of them. After all is said and done, "the Lord looketh on the heart," and what He sees therein is plain to see by those you reach with your message: Pure love! God bless you, sister!
So many times I choked on something when I was little, I was triggered by this and bawled my heart out. I felt Molly's pain and wondered why her little girl had to die. But, I see the good that came of it for Molly and for those that her daughter helped to live. Life is heart wrenching and then we go out and help others experiencing the same. Thanks for those inspired words. Not everyone can do what Molly does, but everyone can do something to help another person and to connect with them.
Very beautiful and it made me tear up. There are Angels all around us and we can be an Angel to someone in need too. 😍❤
You have so much strength. I'm so grateful to have come across this video and feel a connection to you!!!

This was just what I needed today; THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your heart ache. I too have lost my son Tayler last year. He was 20. Was killed in a boating accident. The most important thing that I do is to talk about it. It helps in so many ways. Sending you big hugs.
Take care!
I was feeling sad and depressed but after hearing this message, I realize that I have so much to be thankful for. Am sure the feeling will return, but when it does, I will remember this message. Thank you for sharing your gift .

This is beautiful. I find so much truth in the advice she shares. My wife and I lost our daughter when she was 1. Some of the best connections we have made are those made because of the pain. Thank you for sharing your experience and testimony.

PRICELESS message ❤️💔❤️
Love you Molly!!
Ur words are so powerful.
Heard seen valued
Sadly, these grief stories have an element of hope, when new children are birthed or adopted. I represent parents who lost an only child, have no legacy and have no grandchildren. No one, ever speaks the truth about this. You would not be smiling and dancing in your kitchen, but for the fact that you went on to have two more children.
I feel connected :(
Beautiful gift ❤️
Wow
Thankyou really needed this today xxx you are truly amazing and a example in which I strive to be like, thankyou xxx

Thank you for this 💖💖💖

I'm Roman Catholic. Jesus is the Final Prophet. The Roman Catholic Bible is the Final Testament. I love that LDS still accepts me as one of their own. Praise be to Jesus and to this woman and her family.
Excelente!

❤️❤️

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY HE IS THE TRUTH AND THE SAVIOUR. LEAVE AND GET SAVED BEFORE ITS TO LATE
Nope. I'm not going to watch this. I cannot listen to sad stories involving children. It's too painful.
