To the cross we cling.
Hi! I'm Laura Wifler. I'm a wife and a mother to three children. In 2017, my youngest daughter was diagnosed with Rare Chromosome Disorder at two months old. She is the only known person in the world with exactly what she has, which means her path has always been unknown. Professionally, I'm the co-founder of Risen Motherhood and serve as the executive director and co-host of the podcast. I've authored a few books, including the children's storybook, Like Me: A Story About Disability and Discovering God's Image In Every Person. You can learn more about me throughout this site, or at the links above. My family and I live in central Iowa.

Curious what the Bible has to say about disabilities?
As a mother to a child with disabilities, I've done a lot of work to learn both what the Bible has to say about disabilities, and how to advocate and extend dignity with compassion to those with disabilities. To that end, I've created a free video resource for you where I teach you about disabilities and the gospel. There is so much hope to be found, friend. Sign up below.
Writing these entries over the course of the past four years helped me process my grief. It’s how I came to reconcile the challenges and difficulties of going through diagnosis and raising a child with disabilities, while still trusting in a sovereign and kind God.
