Resumen del Editor

Navigate Through Grief with Biblical Mental Health Tools

When you suffer a loss, you enter the realm of "used to be." You used to be married. You used to be employed. You used to be pregnant, secure, healthy, sober, thin. You used to be a son or daughter, a brother or sister, a mother or father. And in that used-to-be space there is deep emptiness, loneliness, and sorrow. It's a place we all dwell for a while. But it's not a place in which we are meant to remain.

The path forward includes exploring the unseen elements of grief. With this book, pastor Chuck Elliott and counselor Ashley Elliott light the way to a better future. Sharing biblical advice and proven mental health techniques, they help you learn how to fully feel and face your grief, hold onto your faith, and develop healthy ways to see yourself, your life, and your loved ones. They offer coping strategies for when moving forward seems impossible and guide you toward building new thinking patterns that will result in true healing and growth.

Maybe you "used to be" something-but there is a future waiting when you "will be" once more.

Amazing perspectives, enthusiastic deliveries

I loved the perspective Ashley and Chuck were able to give about grief and how we process our own grief as well as how we handle others who are going through their own. Opening up about their own stories showed their vulnerability and made the book very relatable and humanized the authors. You can hear their passion and enthusiasm to help others and bring Christ into their teaching. Highly recommend for anyone because we have all suffered a loss of someone close to us or are close to someone who has!
