The Hard Firsts: A Faith-Based Grief Companion for the First Year After Loss
Nobody tells you about the firsts.The first holiday with an empty chair. Their birthday arriving like any other day on the calendar, except it isn't. The ordinary Tuesday that breaks you open with no warning and no reason. The day everyone else moves on and you are still standing in the wreckage wondering how they got their footing back so fast.The Hard Firsts is a 23-page grief companion written for the woman who is doing it all anyway. The one with the full-time job, the kids to raise, the inbox that doesn't know she is grieving. The one who holds it together in public and sits in the parking lot for five extra minutes before she goes inside.This is not a workbook about getting over grief. It is a companion for moving through it — one milestone at a time, in the actual life you are living.Inside you will find: 10 grief milestone reflections written with research-backed insight and real emotional honesty A scripture pairing for each milestone, carefully selected to meet you where you are 3 journal prompts per milestone that move from open to deeper to what you can actually do A "Words From Within" writing space after every milestone so your words have somewhere to go A personal letter from the author, a working mother and former caregiver who lived every one of these pages
