Have you lost someone? So have I-my mother. Did you pray with your heart and soul for someone to be healed but the outcome was not what you expected? So did I. She had cancer. Are you questioning God now? I did too. Are you wondering if He is really as good as the Bible says He is? After all, you prayed, and it didn't work. Maybe you are even doubting if He's real at all. You are not crazy. You are not a bad Christian. Grief comes when we lose someone, and it can get ugly-especially if the enemy finds his way into your thoughts.

That is why I wrote my story. I struggled with those same thoughts and questions too, but I fought to hold onto my faith. I fought for what I knew to be true even when it felt like everything was pointing to the opposite. As I leaned into God, He revealed things to me-moments and connections so intricate and divinely orchestrated that the only explanation for them was God. These moments then brought me comfort, reassurance, and slow but sure healing in my grief.

This book does not answer why your loved one still went to heaven even after your fervent prayers-no one on earth can answer that-but what I truly believe it will do, if you let it, is speak personally to your grieving, questioning heart. I pray my story will remind you God is still real, true, and good. I hope my personal experiences will give you new perspective, comfort in knowing you are not alone, and reassurance in your faith as you and I both continue our challenging journey through grief.
