Surviving the Year of Firsts: A Mom's Guide to Grieving Child Loss - Paperback

by Alycia Morales (Author), Courtney Hopkins (Artist), Hannah Linder (Cover Design by)

Your child is gone. Your heart is broken.

How on earth do you survive this?

When we're preparing for motherhood, we don't expect to have to bury our children four, nineteen, or thirty-six years later. Nor are we prepared for grief's assault on us and those we love. Is there any hope left in this life? And if so, where do you find it?

Alycia Morales knows your grief is as unique as you are and will help you navigate the foggy forest of child loss, a journey she's survived multiple times.

In 52 bite-sized chapters, with deep biblical insight and genuine compassion, Alycia will help you:

• push through the pain and heartbreak of grief, with hope to discover a new normal where the ache remains but death has lost its sting
• continue to put one foot in front of the other, taking small steps toward getting back to living a life that not only honors the Lord, but honors your child's memory as well
• learn to refocus your thoughts, taking them captive to the Way, the Truth, and the Life, rather than dwelling on death's doorstep
• seek out the treasures in daily life and walk in gratitude as you journey down this path with God

Despite the heartbreak and devastation you currently feel, you can experience healing, hope, and joy. An abundance of life remains for you this side of heaven. Let's go find it.
