Learn How to Thrive Despite Painful Losses

After life is shattered by a loss or traumatic experience--whether big or small--it can seem impossible to heal or move on. Deep down you believe God intends good for you, but you just don't have the energy or strength to move forward.

Author Laurie Pawlik has been there, and here she shares how she flourished despite multiple losses in her own life. Through practical tips and thought-provoking questions, she helps you take small yet powerful steps toward healing and letting go.

She also offers insights and encouragement from the lives of strong women in the Bible. You'll glimpse the painful losses these women experienced and learn how they flourished despite seasons of hardship and grief. You'll discover how God shows His presence and power in the valleys, deserts, and storms. And you'll feel a fresh sense of hope that, with God's help, you can redefine yourself, remake your life, and grow forward into a beautiful new season.
