MY BLUE DEVIL HAS WINGS

My Blue Devil Has Wings

A Mother’s Journey from Heartbreak to Healing, from Tragedy to Triumph

When tragedy strikes without warning, faith can be the only light in the darkness.

In My Blue Devil Has Wings, Terri Bartchak opens her heart to share the raw, powerful story of losing her beloved son, Blake, a bright and spirited high school football player known as a true “Blue Devil.” Through unimaginable grief, Terri discovers that love never dies; it simply changes form. Guided by faith, community, and the signs that her son still walks beside her, she learns to live again, one prayer at a time.

From the devastating night of the accident to the breathtaking moments of grace that follow, Terri’s journey becomes a testimony to God’s presence in our deepest pain. Each chapter shines with hope, courage, and the reminder that miracles still happen, especially when we surrender our hearts to Him.

Poignant, faith-filled, and profoundly human, My Blue Devil Has Wings offers comfort to anyone who has faced loss and wondered if they would ever smile again. This is more than a memoir; it’s a message from a mother’s heart to every soul searching for peace after heartbreak.

Terri takes us through her spiritual journey of finding God through her grief. She outlines three different tragedies she encounters in her life….the death of a favorite uncle through suicide, the loss of a child taken way too young in an accident, and a life changing stroke suffered by her husband seven years after the accident.

“My Blue Devil Has Wings,” will lead the reader in finding joy when life seems hopeless. You will learn what lessons she gathers from each tragedy and how God showed up when she needed him most!! A must read for anyone who is experiencing loss or anyone who is looking to build a relationship with God. 💙
