A powerful new anthem is available for parents walking the complex medical journey with their children. Emily Whiting sits down with singer-songwriter Gina Brooklyn to unveil "Through Every Storm," a song created specifically for the Parent Empowerment Network community that captures the heartache, hope, and profound love that defines raising a medically complex child.

The song's journey began over a year ago when Gina, moved by the mission of supporting parents through medical complexity, set out to transform Emily's heartfelt words into music. "Every second, every moment that I get to love you is such a gift," begins the lyrical journey that acknowledges both the privilege and pain of loving a child through medical challenges. What makes this collaboration uniquely powerful is how it balances hopeful realism – neither glossing over struggles nor surrendering to despair.

In a surprising twist of providence, shortly after writing this song for others, Gina found herself battling serious health challenges of her own. Following a severe COVID infection, she received diagnoses of POTS, mast cell activation disease, and hereditary alpha tryptasemia – experiences that brought new depth to lyrics like "If it rains or if it pours, His love will carry you through every storm." Gina vulnerably shares this personal journey, revealing how her own medical complexity has deepened her connection to the song's message.

"Through Every Storm" releases in late August, with 50% of all proceeds directly supporting Parent Empowerment Network's mission. A beautiful music video featuring Charlotte and Emery will follow on YouTube. Whether you're sitting at a NICU bedside, up at 2 AM with a child in pain, or simply needing a reminder that you're not alone, this song offers a musical sanctuary where weary parents can find rest. Download it, share it, and let it carry you through your own storms – while helping us continue supporting families just like yours.
