What happens when the God who was supposed to comfort you feels painfully absent?
Grief is never just about what you’ve lost—it’s also about the God you thought you knew. When the bottom falls out, you’re left questioning, disoriented, and wondering if faith even has a place in your pain. Mourning God is for those tired of Christian clichés and quick-fix theology. If you’re wrestling with doubt, grief, or disappointment with God, this book offers the honest, compassionate voice you’ve been seeking. Tiffany’s personal experience with loss, combined with her pastoral insights, offers you a safe space to ask tough questions and take your time in finding healing.
In this deeply personal exploration of grief, Tiffany speaks into the silence and confusion that accompany loss of any kind. You’re invited to journey through mourning the God you thought you knew to knowing more clearly the God who loves, comforts, walks, and mourns with you.

If the title puts you off of this book, please give it a chance. This book is written with incredible vulnerability, compassion, and thoughtfulness. It is also, importantly, Biblically accurate. This book is not empty platitudes, or hopeless anger, or deconversion. It’s a hand held out by someone saying “I understand, and I’m here for you, and God is still there too even if you can’t feel Him right now.” I recommend this book to Christians going through a Dark Night of the Soul.
