If Only I Could: A Journey of Loving, Missing, and Living Beyond

~What I have to keep telling myself is this: Life is still here just waiting for me to unwrap it, take hold of it, and squeeze every last bit of living out of it. And if tears find their way into this new season without you, it’s ok. Because sometimes, –yes, sometimes – faith is tasting the sweetness of God in the saltiness of our tears. Knowing HIS beauty is still here to discover, still here to experience, still here to sustain and uphold. This, too, is a part of life. A beautiful part, indeed.~

Grief is not a broken part of our life we need to somehow fix. It is not a situation we need to find a solution to or an answer for. Grief is an all-consuming, all-encompassing journey of loving, missing, and living beyond. It is a re-learning of how to live - still, in the midst of incredible loss, overwhelming sorrow, and the relentless cry of our heart, “If only I could . . .”

Raw, intimate, honest, and profound - IF ONLY I COULD - is a poignant, personal journey through grief. While we each grieve differently, there is no doubt your heart will instantly feel at home here – knowing it is understood and finding gentle encouragement through every page of this book.
