Candice Thompson and her husband, Sean, live in Indiana. They have been married for 21 years and have four children. In 2021, their third child passed away at the age of six after living with a progressive lung disease. Their family's experience with anticipatory grief, chronic illness, and profound loss led them on a long journey of learning to grieve, hold onto hope, and walk through loss together alongside their children.

Candice seeks to live in the truth that Jesus is always present, no matter the season. She is a pediatric occupational therapist and draws on her understanding of child development to shape her perspective on grief, resilience, and supporting families. The Thompson family loves spending time outdoors and baking together, so you'll usually find them working on an outdoor project or making something in the kitchen rather than catching up on housework.
