The Breaux’s
Ryan and Kelly Breaux are a powerful duo as witnesses to the world of the healing powers of the Sacraments of the Catholic Church. It wasn’t because someone told us about the healing powers of the Sacraments, it was because we experienced a profound healing through them. The Breaux’s share their story of their love, loss, and redemption together as a couple.
Together they share with others how when they started journeying through loss as a couple, in the Sacrament of Marriage, is when together as individuals they both found healing and hope. Their marriage blossomed, and the shackles of grief, fear, anxiety, and depression fell away. It is possible to find peace and to have a thriving marriage after losing a child. We teach couples how.
