A Time to Heal
Grief Recovery
Releasing the Sorrow...Cherishing the Memories
Life Interrupted
Do you feel like your world is spinning in circles
going nowhere?
Are you consumed with the questions—
How will I get my life back?
Can this happen again?
When nighttime comes do you breathe a deep sigh of relief, thankful for a few hours of oblivion only to wake up and start the cycle all over again? Yet deep inside you know there is more to life than simply existing from one day to the next.
Life Resumed
Tragedy and disasters create enormous disruption, panic and dismay. Not only has your normal routine been shattered, the aftermath of the catastrophe, whether it’s a flood, a fire or a pandemic, needs to be contained and redirected.
The first step toward reclaiming your life is to realize that while you may feel uncertain and insecure--you are not powerless. Every action begins with a thought which in turn leads to a decision.
Healing from loss is no different. In fact, your journey begins with your decision to reclaim your life—and your God-given right to live it more abundantly.
My books were written as a result of my own experiences with loss and healing due to multiple deaths in my family in a short span of time. I sincerely hope that my personal struggle with grief—including the setbacks, regrouping and eventual triumph will provide hope and encouragement for those who are taking their first tentative steps toward healing.
Life Resumed
The rise in mental health illness is at an all-time high due to the current pandemic and economic crisis. Chemical abuse, suicide and crime have doubled and, in some cases tripled, compared to the pre-COVID era.
​
Life Resumed has received excellent reviews from mental health care professionals as a compelling faith-based book that empowers the reader to reclaim their life by providing skills to help readers move from being immobilized to creating a plan.
​
In 2022, “Life Resumed” won the Finalist Award in the Christian-living category sponsored by the Reader’s Favorite international award contest.
