It is a reflective book to work through my hurt & grief over losing children. I appreciated the stories & the constant connections back to the Bible. The author was intentional about weaving in God's purpose for our lives through our grief and how our stories can be shared for others in the same position. This helped me identify grudges I am carrying, the forgiveness I need to give out, and how I must fully rely on God in all situations of life.
