A book for Christians looking for practical hope after loss
Believing they’re in heaven doesn’t erase your pain
I urge you to read this remarkable book” - Rob Parsons, Founder of Care for the Family
From the bestselling author of All About Heaven…
Grief is a journey no one chooses, but one that changes us forever.
When the author's beloved son, Joel, died at just thirty-eight, life as they knew it shattered.
The questions came fast and painfully: Why did this happen? Where is God in the sorrow? How can we live again when our hearts have been torn apart?
With honesty and humility, the author invites readers into a deeply personal walk through suffering, mourning, and the long, uneven road toward healing.
This book doesn't offer simple answers or easy comfort. Instead, it offers something far more powerful - companionship and truth.
Through Scripture, reflection, and lived experience, it shows how even in our deepest pain, God's compassion is present. His love does not remove the grief but it redeems it.
Whether you are grieving a loved one, walking alongside someone who is, or seeking to understand how faith endures through loss, All About Grief will help you discover that even in the darkest valley, the Shepherd still leads and His presence is enough.
All About Grief explores how we can live through the most debilitating shocking and dark moments of loss without losing hope. Each chapter gently helps readers understand the journey they are on, then helps them find some measure of hope when life feels broken beyond repair. Drawing on personal experience, interviews, and years of speaking and writing about life loss and hope; All About Grief helps readers make sense of their emotions; process their pain and take small steps towards healing.
