When My Heart Broke: A Journey Through Loss($12.99Value)

Description

Some losses happened yesterday. Others happened decades ago. The heart still remembers. When Brenda Carroll Jarvis unexpectedly lost her twenty-five-year-old grandson, Michael, she did not intend to write a book. She began writing because grief had left her searching for a place to express her sorrow. Those private reflections became When My Heart Broke: A Journey Through Loss —an honest, faith-filled collection of poetry, memories, prayers, and personal reflections written during the days, weeks, and months following Michael’s death. This is not a book that tells grieving people to move on or get over their loss. It is a compassionate companion for those learning to live with an absence that has changed everything. Within these pages, readers will find: honest words for emotions that are difficult to express, - reassurance that grief does not follow a timetable, - encouragement for birthdays, anniversaries, and unexpected reminders, - biblical comfort without dismissing the reality of sorrow, - and hope in the presence and faithfulness of God. Whether your loss is recent or happened many years ago, your love still matters, your grief is not forgotten, and you do not have to walk this road alone. When My Heart Broke offers the understanding of someone who has lived through devastating loss and continues to discover that sorrow and faith can exist together.
