Some seasons of life can seem inordinately more difficult than one human should ever have to endure. For Brandi Wilson, this was the year when her husband of more than twenty years—and a megachurch pastor—walked away from her and her family, her church community dissolved, and her dreams and identity were shattered.

Yet God transformed this heartbreaking, overwhelming year into an invaluable lesson on the gift of healing. Here Brandi vulnerably and beautifully tells her story of confronting grief and heartache head-on and learning how to grow from the pain. She poignantly reminds us that your story is always evolving as she helps you rely on and find comfort in the promises of God; endure the darkest moments and seasons of life; address your grief head-on; begin a new journey toward healing; and find freedom in your new identity.

While grief and tragedy seem final and your life and dreams look drastically different, there is hope for renewed joy, peace, and redemption. Your pain doesn't get the final say; through God's grace and healing power, you will be better than okay.
