How We're Dealing With Our Loss: Steven Curtis Chapman

trix — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 19:04:00 GMT

The Chapman family has, over the last couple of months, been dealing with a tragedy that no parent should ever have to deal with, the death of a child. I have two kids myself, and I can't even think about the possibility of something happening to them. I believe that all parents would agree that they feel the same way.

Steven Curtis Chapman visited "Good Morning America" and shared with us how his family is coping and the challenges they face on a day to day basis.

“My son said the other day, ‘We are a family … of great faith. But we’re a family with a lot of questions.’ But that’s what faith is. It’s living with the questions. It doesn’t mean you have the answers,” the Christian singer said on "Good Morning America."

Steve admitted one of his greatest challenges is mourning the loss of his daughter while consoling his remaining five children.

“While we are grieving … there is a hope that we’re anchored to, in the midst of just what sometimes seems unbearable.”

I can't imagine the pain they are going through and the sadness the are feeling. My heart goes out to the family.

Maria will never be forgotten.

A video of Christian star Steven Curtis Chapman's 5-year old daughter Maria was posted by the family on Thursday. Maria Sue Chapman was killed in a tragic car accident on Wednesday after being accidentally hit by an SUV driven by her brother.

I have to admit I had never heard of Chapman before I read this tragic story yesterday. But I don't think anyone can watch this video of a vibrant Maria Sue and her obviously devoted father and not feel incredibly sad.

The five-year-old daughter of gospel star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a car driven by her brother, MSNBC is reporting.

The girl, Maria, was struck in the driveway of the family's home Wednesday afternoon by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by her teenage brother who apparently didn't see the girl. She later died from her injuries at a local hospital.

Several family members witnessed the accident, which occurred in Williamson County, just south of Nashville.

Grammy Award-winning Chapman and his wife were dedicated to promoting international adoption and have three daughters from China, including Maria. The couple also have three biological children.

Our thoughts go out to the Chapman family.
