Testimonials

This book made me laugh. It made me cry (and cry). This book made me love the healthcare workers, the hospital photographer, your mom and mother-in-law, your sister, and your church family, who all made you feel loved and cared for at a time when you needed it most. But most importantly, it made me consider how I can better reach out when others are grieving, and how the inward focus I naturally take when I'm grieving needs to be turned outward to bless others, which will, in turn help facilitate my own healing. This was a truly remarkable book, and I already have some friends and family in mind that I plan to share it with.“

Reading this manuscript was a powerful, heart-wrenching journey—a testament to skillful storytelling that feels like virtual reality. The first chapter grips you instantly, while the practical elements offer readers tools to navigate their own trauma. This timely book will bring healing to many and is a true ministry unto the Lord.

Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you and transform something that was so painful and traumatic into something that is encouraging and inspiring and transformative.
