Room to Breathe, Room to Grieve

Finding Our Way After the Loss of a Child and the End of a 25-Year Caregiving Journey

By: John E. Miller

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A sacred journey through grief, healing, and rediscovering life after loss.
For 25 years, John and Carla Miller dedicated their lives to loving and caring for their son, Peter Flint Miller—a special needs child who could not walk, talk, or eat without assistance, but whose life overflowed with joy, laughter, and purpose. Every four hours, around the clock, they fed him, changed him, bathed him, dressed him, and prayed over him. And then, one day, it all stopped.
Room to Breathe, Room to Grieve is their honest, faith-filled story of what happens after the caregiving ends—after the routines fall silent, and grief rushes in like a flood. It's a book about deep sorrow, sacred memories, and the slow, holy work of healing. But it’s also a book about love, legacy, and the God who stays through every stage of loss.
In these pages, John and Carla reflect on:

• The pain of losing a child with profound special needs
• The toll caregiving takes on marriage, family, and faith
• How to grieve differently—but together
• The spiritual fog that follows loss
• Learning to laugh again without guilt
• Finding hope in heaven and strength in Scripture

Whether you’re a caregiver, a grieving parent, or someone walking alongside a loved one through loss, this book will remind you: you are not alone, and your tears are seen by the One who gives room to breathe, room to grieve, and grace to heal.
